Inhaltsangabe

General FictionLarge Print EditionMs. Hamilton gives Ruth a humble dignity and allows her hope but its not a heavenly hope. Its a common one caked with mud and held with gritted teeth . . . probably the only hope worth reading about. New York Times* A New York Times Bestseller* Dec. 96 Selection of Oprahs Book ClubWinner of the Pen/Ernest Hemingway Foundation Award and acclaimed by Oprah Winfrey, The Book of Ruth is the story of a young girl who grows up in poverty and in the shadow of her brilliant brother. With few options of her own, Ruth clings to her semi-crazy mother and marries and supports one of Honey Creeks losers. When the precarious household erupts in violence, Ruth is the only one who can piece the story together and she gets at the truth in a manner at once ferocious, hilarious, and heartbreaking.
