Our Noble Selves by Kate Atkinson: A very British treat

A life in books | 16.09.2026 14:26
A new Kate Atkinson is always a cause for celebration for me. I’ve been a fan since Behind the Scenes at the Museum back in 1995. Set against the backdrop of 1951’s Festival of Britain, Our Noble Selves follows Harry Flynn who becomes involved in the organisation of the extravagant event aimed at reviving British spirits after the war and showcasing what the country can offer the world.
