|title=Ruby's Spoon
|rating=4
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=“This is the tale of three women – one witch, one mermaid and one missing – and how Ruby was caught up in between”.
Despite the opening, this novel is more gritty realism than fantasy – there is lots of mythical imagery but in truth, the setting for this novel is a small industrial town cut off from everywhere else by the surrounding canals. It is 1933 (the middle of the Great Depression), and a stranger arrives in town to turn Ruby’s life upside down, for better or worse.
