Everyone knows Ruby Devereaux’s books. But no one knows her story ... until now.

From wartime England to modern day London, via New York, Berlin and Vietnam, in the midst of parties, scandals and conflict zones, and of course, meeting many men along the way, Ruby Devereaux has lived one hell of a life. And in a writing career spanning seven decades, she’s poured it all into her work.

But now in her 80s, Ruby’s life has slowed down, and her typewriter has been put away. Until a call from her publisher persuades Ruby she has one more book in her. Her agent Marina is under no illusion that Ruby is writing her memoirs for the money ... but even now, Ruby has the power to surprise – and whatever Ruby does, she does on her own terms.

But is she really about to reveal the secrets of her infamous life?
