From amazon.co.uk...

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.

At last I've finally got round to reading this book...

I enjoyed it, but I don't know that I'll rush to read anymore of Kate Atkinson's books. She has an unusual style of writing, which I'm not too sure about.

I think the main reason I enjoyed it is because it's set in York, my home city.
