About this product

Product Information

To celebrate the 25th anniversary since first publication, a new edition of Kate Atkinson's brilliant and unforgettable first novel with an introduction by the author. Twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Kate Atkinson's brilliant and unforgettable first novel, which won the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year Prize. 'Delivers its jokes and its tragedies as efficiently as Dickens...outrageously funny...will dazzle readers for years to come' - HILARY MANTEL, author of The Mirror and the Light Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Dog and Hare in Doncaster telling a woman in an emerald dress and a D-cup that he wasn't married. Bunty had never wanted to marry George, but here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York Minster, with sensible and sardonic Patrica aged five, greedy cross-patch Gillian who refused to be ignored, and Ruby... Ruby tells the story of The Family, from the day at the end of the nineteenth century when a travelling French photographer catches frail beautiful Alice and her children, like flowers in amber, to the startling, witty, and memorable events of Ruby's own life. 'Little short of a masterpiece...Fizzing with wit and energy, Kate Atkinson's hilarious novel made me laugh and cry' Daily Mail 'An astounding book...without doubt one of the finest novels I have read for years' THE TIMES

    An excellent read

    I did not particularly enjoy "Life After Life" but persevered with "Behind the Scenes at the Museum" as Kate Atkinson is an award winning author. I was not disappointed with this book. Excellent. Taste is subjective but one should never decide that one "does not like a particular author" without trying more than one book.

  • Still as good as the first time I read it.

    It seems eons ago when I first read this book. Browsing for another title I spied this by accident and impulsively purchased a copy. So this was a pure indulgent re-read for me, taking a nostalgic trip to observe what life had to throw at the generations of the Lennox family - and it chucked quite a variety at them, let me tell you! It felt much like a domestic comedy in places, the little things siblings do and say etc., while other moments show another side not to be revealed in public for reasons of shame or blame. Can't for the life of me think what I did with my old copy, but I'm pleased to have a new version on my bookshelf again (complete with spiteful parrot on the cover!). And totally delighted with the quality too - no creases, marks or bent pages :)
