From a teenager in wartime England to a veteran of modern-day London, 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, a call from her publisher presents Ruby with an ultimatum, and the impetus to embark on one last book. Even in her dotage, Ruby Devereux has the power to surprise, because whatever this author does, she does on her own terms.
