In a lively style and bubbly Kate Atkinson takes us into the daily life of a small English family through the eyes of the little Ruby, funny and moving despite a bleak day in his family, and later discovered a dark secret concerning it. Although very readable, it must fully immerse themselves in this story not to lose the thread of the narrative (plenty of characters and flashbacks). Psychological portraits of the main characters are tasty and full of finesse: the weakness and cowardice of others each other eventually arouse some leniency.
