Publisher's Note
This 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year paints a rich, vivid portrait of heartbreak and happiness, recounting the story of Ruby Lennox, a narrator who will leave no stone unturned in her account of family life above a pet shop in England. "A poignant and beautifully wrought portrait of a young girl's growth".--"Seattle Times".

Industry reviews
"...a debut novel by Kate Atkinson of astonishing confidence and skill. It is, put simply, the story of an ordinary York family from the turn of the century to the present day: this summary does no justice to its capacious, vivid, almost operatic nature. Acutely observant, overflowing with good jokes, it is the work of an author who loves her characters and sets them playing with a gleeful energy. It will give enormous pleasure to a wide range of readers: it is a coat of many colours, warm enough for the deepest winter."
Spectator - Hilary Mantel (11/18/1995)

"Kate Atkinson's remarkable first novel [is] a work full of the grimness, grit, and grandeur of Yorkshire life...a multigenerational tale of a spectacularly dysfunctional Yorkshire family and one of the funniest works of fiction to come out of Britain in years....The author is at her best and sharpest when juxtaposing the dreary frustrations of daily life with the searing horror of men and women caught up in the careless wreckage of this century's history....Like Yorkshire itself, [this novel] is all sharp edges; it is a caustic and affectionate portrayal of a world in which bleak but nourishing wit is the only safety net."
New York Times Book Review - Ben MacIntyre (03/31/1996)

"Spanning generations and both world wars, this British debut leaves no stone unturned in recounting the humorously turbulent family history of Ruby Lennox...With a natural storyteller's flair, Atkinson tumbles forth an array of anecdotes, revealed secrets, and eccentric snippets of love and death that finally build into the splendid chronicle, ghosts and all, of Ruby's life. With a sly, biting humor and honest warmth, a thoroughly enjoyable first novel with the promise of good things to come."
Eckhoff 

"Ruby's knowing descriptions of her family make their awfulness a rich joke. But by the novel's end, when she finds that she has known everything about the Lennox history except the single fact that affects her most, the story has deepened to a moving seriousness."
Boydston
