Ruby lives in 1970s Johannesburg. Her father is a liberal lawyer, representing black people accused under the apartheid system. Her mother owns an art gallery that showcases talent from the townships to an international audience. Like Linda Gavon of the Goodman Gallery, Ruby's mother believes that art is the blood of a nation.

|comment= I thought the book reivew on Ruby Red was really detailed and descriptive on the events that happened in the book and it showed how the reader grasped the story line as it must have been a gripping novel with many turn of events in it.
I like the way the reviewer has emphasized with the themes that were shown in the book as she picked out certain ones like tender love, apartheid, power and family dynamics and used them to ask rhetorical questions to people who have read the book.
The review was really interesting to read and it showed that the reviewer Jill Murphy can adpat to this character Ruby on the way she is feeling.
