Behind the Scenes at the Museum

Hello my book lovers

This was the choice by Kath and a great book. I have read nothing like it before and loved it.



Synopsis from Amazon
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.

We had our meeting at Kath's house but got a little distracted from the book by newly arrived Chloe



but we were all there



and we did discuss the book.



I would like to read another by this author

Kate
