  • "This novel of interlocking stories tells of Stalin's first wife; of the loss of a child and its effect on three people; and gives an account of a young girl's life in a brothel during WW1."
  • "Mourning Ruby is a novel of interlocking stories, each one opening to reveal another. It tells not only the story of the loss of a child and its effect on three people, but an account of a young girl's life in the brothel during WWI, the magical story of a circus acrobat, and the history of Stalin's first wife and her mysterious fate. Hugely moving and strongly plotted, it deals with memory, history, imagination, and ultimately the most important relationship in any novel."
