<p><b>Everyone knows Ruby Devereaux's books. But no one knows her story... until now.</b><br><br>From a teenager in wartime England to a veteran of modern-day London - via 1950's New York, the Swinging Sixties, Cold War Berlin, Venice and Vietnam - 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?<br><br>Now beyond her 90th year, Ruby's energy is ebbing and her beloved typewriter put away. Until a call from her publisher presents Ruby with an ultimatum, and the impetus to embark on one last book - "warts and all", as she says. Even in her dotage, Ruby M Devereaux has the power to surprise, because whatever this author does, she does on her own terms. Always.<br><br>Is Ruby finally about to reveal the secrets of her infamous life?<br><br><b>Taking the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the latter half of the 20th Century,<i> The Scandalous Life of Ruby Devereaux</i> is a mesmerising story of one unforgettable woman's place in an ever-changing world.</b></p>
