«Dans les coulisses du musée» is the novel by Kate Atkinson, published by Editions de Fallois in paperback (348 pages, in French).
Ruby Lennox, born into a family of shopkeepers in York, narrates her childhood in the 1950s and 1960s while her account opens onto episodes of the twentieth century. Family memory, with its celebrations, losses and secrets, weaves a chronicle where the tragic and the comic coexist under an ironic and disillusioned gaze.
Kate Atkinson's first novel, published in English in 1995 as 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum'; this French edition, translated by Jean Bourdier, won the Whitbread Award and the Boeke Prize.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction who enjoy family sagas with an ironic tone and melancholic undertone.
