Fiction

'Answer the question, Ruby.' 'There was no question.' 'Are you or are you not planning to use a trip to the United States to skip your birthday?' 'I will be crossing the international dateline at the time, rendering me twenty-nine forever more.' In Campaign Ruby, the novel where it all began, Ruby managed to get: drunk, the Leader of the Opposition elected, and Luke. In Ruby Blues, what's a girl to do when she's about to turn thirty, when her wardrobe is drab, her love life becomes lukewarm and the government is leakier than a cheap umbrella? Work? Luke? Can she have it all? And, more importantly, what should she wear to the Midwinter Ball?
