A friend really like Kate Atkinson, though I earlier gave up on her detective novels. But I persevered with this, and in the end it was worth it. It's a coming of age story set in and around the city of York, across the 19th and 20th centuries, with various plot devices to draw together characters across settings and generations.
At first I didn't like the tone, which felt a bit sneery, but either it softened or I got used to it, and I engaged with the characters and the convoluted plots.
