Behind the Scenes at the Museum

Ob das Buch je gelesen worden ist, weiß ich nicht, jedenfalls hat es jemand durchgeblättert, da eine sogenannte Leserille am Buchrücken ist. Ansonsten sieht das Buch ungelesen aus und weist nur leichte Transport-/Lagerspuren (wie nachgedunkeltes Papier) auf.

Auf Englisch! - The Whitbread book of the year. -

Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Fog 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 he was all that was left. She really wanted to be Vivien Leigh or Celia Johnson, swept off to America by a romantic hero. But here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York Minister, with sensible and sardonic Patricia 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 traveling 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.
