Ruby's New Coat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326059071)

Ruby's New Coat begins in London when, for one night only, Ruby Biggs forgets she is engaged to be married. A V2 rocket hits a London pub and Ruby's life is turned upside down in more ways than one, as she is tumbled into a doorway and dragged into the bowels of Selfridges by a mysterious and enigmatic stranger. Passion erupts and a connection is made. Her rescuer, Loukas, is from Crete and has to return, where he discovers terrible atrocities committed by both the Germans and the Cretans against each other. Meanwhile, Ruby is in trouble, even more so after her fiancé's sister reveals a shocking secret. When her father returns from the war to discover his daughter has been "carrying on with a foreigner," Ruby has no choice but to leave England. She throws caution to the wind and moves to Crete where she begins a new life. Combining fiction with historical fact, this romantic tale has twists and turns and heals scars spanning ten years of conflict.
