Ruby
Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was
in the Dog 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 here
she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York
Minster, with sensible and sardonic Patrica 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 travelling
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.
