Born as a result of an affair between a nurse and an American
soldier in the First World War, Ruby O'Hagan grows up in an
orphanage. She is rescued by rich Emily Dangerfield, who takes her
home to be her companion. But a twist of fate takes Ruby away and
before long she is a single mother, working all the hours of the
day to provide for her little daughters, Greta and Heather. Not
until her family have left home does Ruby have the chance to live
her own life - and finally realize what she wants to do with it.
This is a highly enjoyable romantic saga tracing the life of a
determined and well-loved woman from the end of the First World War
right up to the new millennium. Lee skilfully tells the story of
one woman's survival through poverty and heartache and gives us a
fascinating look at each of the different decades of the 20th
century on the way. (Kirkus UK)
