The novel's protagonist, Ruby Lennox, begins describing her life from the moment of conception, but as the story progresses, it turns out that the story of any of us should begin much earlier: personal history is inextricably intertwined with the great events of the day, cities are made up of layers of all the eras in which they existed, and any family is at least half made up of family skeletons in the closet.
Kate Atkinson is a British writer, recipient of an MBE and three times winner of the prestigious Costa Book Awards. Her first novel, Backstage at the Museum, was rated higher than the book by the famous Salman Rushdie, and Stephen King called her bestselling series about private investigator Jackson Brody "the greatest detective project of the decade."
