Synopsis
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.

Posting to abrokenstarr as her choice from the BCUK Extra VBB round 4

I've already read this, and loved it. So I'm going to release this somehow.

Posted to Purplerosebud today - enjoy!

Arrived today, many thanks. I won this in a bookswap game on BCUK Extra. I have other books by this author so I hope I will enjoy this one. Now going onto Mt TBR.

As I've now acquired another copy of this book I've offered it in a VBB on BCUK extra and Ladkyis has chosen it so it will be going off to her very soon.

Received from Purplerosebud because I chose it from the Virtual Book Box at BCUK extra.
