Probably Ruby [BOOK] : a novel / Lisa Bird-Wilson. 1st US ed. London/New York : Hogarth, 2022. 272 Pages ; 22 cm. Originally published: Regina, Saskatchewan : Coteau Books, 2020. "When we first meet Ruby, a Métis woman in her 30s, she's a mess. She's angling to sleep with her therapist while also rekindling an old relationship with a man who was--let's just say--a mistake. As we will soon learn, however, Ruby's story is far broader and deeper than its rollicking, somewhat lighthearted first chapter. This is the story of a woman in search of herself, in every sense. Given up for adoption as an infant, Ruby was raised by a white couple who understand little of her Indigenous heritage. Growing up Ruby longs to know where she comes from and who her people are. This is the great mystery that hovers over her life and the book. Through a non-chronological structure, we meet the people who have shaped her life: her adoptive parents; her birth parents and grandparents; the men and women Ruby has been romantically involved with. All these characters form a kaleidoscope of stories, giving Ruby's life dignity and meaning.". 20220422. Métis women Fiction. Adoptees Fiction. Identity (Psychology) Fiction.
