Review:
"A spirited and adventurous writer, Pietroni loves words and takes joy in story-telling... As well as dark secrets, concealed hatreds, ambiguous identities and tormented relationships, it is about a child in need of parents" (Independent)

"A charismatic coming-of-age tale glimmering with dark magic, lost families and closely guarded secrets" (Marie Claire)

"One of the best first novels I have ever read" (Susan Hill)

"[A] grown up fairy tale... replete with folklore, revelling in character and dialect" (Guardian)

"This enthralling, suspenseful debut novel...has the feel of a grim fairy tale. Of the many riches it offers, is the winning lead character...who will capture readers' hearts" (Booklist (starred review))
Book Description:
Ruby's Spoon is a bold and bewitching debut set in the industrial Black Country of the 1930s. Anna Lawrence Pietroni's fiercely charismatic heroine blazes the arrival of a mesmerising new literary talent.
