Book ID/图书代码： 12844007B19727

English Summary/英文概要： Ruby Lennox was conceived grudgingly by Bunty and born while her father, George, was in the Dog and Hare in Doncaster telling a woman in an emerald dress and a D-cup that he wasn’t married. Bunty had never wanted to marry George, but here she was, stuck in a flat above the pet shop in an ancient street beneath York Minster, with sensible and sardonic Patrica aged five, greedy cross-patch Gillian who refused to be ignored, and Ruby...Ruby tells the story of The Family, from the day at the end of the nineteenth century when a travelling French photographer catches frail beautiful Alice and her children, like flowers in amber, to the startling, witty, and memorable events of Ruby’s own life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 露比•伦诺克斯是邦蒂不情愿地怀上的，出生时，她的父亲乔治还在唐卡斯特的“狗和野兔”酒馆里，告诉一个穿着祖母绿裙子、戴着D罩杯的女人他还没有结婚。邦蒂从来没有想过要嫁给乔治，但现在她却被困在约克敏斯特下面一条古老街道上宠物店楼上的一套公寓里，五岁的帕里卡懂事、爱挖苦人，贪婪的吉莉安拒绝被忽视，还有鲁比……鲁比讲述了这个家庭的故事，从19世纪末一位旅行的法国摄影师捕捉到虚弱美丽的爱丽丝和她的孩子们，就像琥珀中的花朵，到鲁比自己生命中令人吃惊、诙谐和难忘的事件。（WYL）
