Topic: Elizabeth Ruth


  
  Gaskell, Ruth (1)
Ruth reddened, and tears sprang to her eyes; but she was so conscious of the falsity of the accusation, that she rebuked herself for being moved by it, and, raising her head, gave a proud look round, as if in appeal to her companions.
Ruth thought it was too strong a realisation of her hopes, and looked for an over-clouding at noon; but the glory endured, and at two o'clock she was in the Leasowes, with a beating heart full of joy, longing to stop the hours, which would pass too quickly through the afternoon.
Ruth was quite unconscious of being the object of remark; and, in her light, rapid passings to and fro, had never looked at the doors and windows, where many watchers stood observing her, and commenting upon her situation or her appearance.

  Author Q & A with Elizabeth Ruth - Literary Fiction

 Smoke
Elizabeth Ruth’s much anticipated second novel, SMOKE, is a beautifully written novel that explores notions of beauty, identity, and the power of the imagination.
In an era of conformity, a disfigured boy tries to move his life forward, and an old man grapples desperately with his past: the convergence of two lives on the cusp will change each of them, and the small-town world that binds them, in ways they could not have imagined.
Elizabeth Ruth's second novel is a tour de force: a potent, richly inventive story of identity and transformation, of reconciliation between the way you are seen, and the truth of who you really are.

 Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Ruth Hilton, an orphan and dressmaker's assistant is seduced and heartlessly deserted by the wealthy Henry Bellingham.
Perhaps the social and political point she was trying to make about unmarried motherhood got in the way of her usual style.
