Everyone knows Ruby Devereaux’s books. But no one knows her
story… until now. From a teenager in wartime England to a veteran
of modern-day London – via 1950’s New York, the Swinging
Sixties, Cold War Berlin, Venice and Vietnam – Ruby Devereaux has
lived one hell of a life: parties, scandals and conflict zones,
meeting men and adventure along the way. In a writing career
spanning seven decades and more than twenty books, she’s
distilled everything into her work. Or has she? Now beyond her 90th
year, Ruby’s energy is ebbing and her beloved typewriter put
away. Until a call from her publisher presents Ruby with an
ultimatum, and the impetus to embark on one last book – “warts
and all”, as she says. Even in her dotage, Ruby.M Devereux has
the power to surprise, because whatever this author does, she does
on her own terms. Always. Is Ruby finally about to reveal the
secrets of her infamous life? Taking the reader on a rollercoaster
ride through the latter half of the 20th Century, The Scandalous
Life of Ruby Devereaux is a mesmerising story of one unforgettable
woman’s place in an ever-changing world.
