Forbidden love. Family secrets. A twist of fate. The stunning new generational saga from Belinda Alexandra, best-selling author of Tuscan Rose and White Gardenia.
In New Orleans - the city of genteel old houses covered in Spanish moss, of seductive nightlife, of Creole, voodoo and jazz - two women separated by time and tragedy will find each other at last.
Amanda, orphaned as a child and suffering the loss of her beloved grandmother, has left Sydney in search of a family she never knew. Ruby, constrained by the expectations of society and class, is carrying a lifetime of secrets. Amanda's arrival sparks revelations long buried: a double life, a forbidden love, and a loss that cannot be forgotten.
Southern Ruby is a sweeping story of love, passion, family and honour. Alternating in time between the 1950s and the eve of Hurricane Katrina, it is also a tribute to a city heady with music, drama, history and superstition which has borne the tumults of race and class and the fury of nature but has never given up hope.

Great history. Lots of New Orleans history. Voodoo, creole, plantation homes and yes racial inequality because during this time period it was something that could not be left out of this story. So many brave people both black and white that fought for equal rights. Loss of life and love. Old stories new stories. My only complaint is not about the story but about the narration. The southern accents and the pronunciation of places in the south were terrible. The story itself is so great that I just dealt with the bad narration!
All the good, the bad and in between southern style
