The New Lebanon Book Group will discuss Behind the Scenes at the Museum, a novel by Kate Atkinson, on Sunday, January 8, at 11 am at the New Lebanon Library. Newcomers are welcome.
Behind the Scenes at the Museum is the first novel of Kate Atkinson. The book covers the experiences of Ruby Lennox, from a middle-class English family living in York. By interspersing flashbacks with the narrative of Ruby’s own life, the book chronicles the lives of four generations of women from Ruby’s great-grandmother Alice to Ruby’s mother’s failed dreams. It won the 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year and the 1996 Boeke Prize.
