I bought this book and read it within 24 hours. It was a gripping story that I was forced to put down when basically I ws just too tired. I bought this book because I read 'The Year The Gypsies Came' and I loved that book so when I saw this one I bought it because I like the way Linzi Glass write her stories. This one is about a girl called Ruby (surprise, surprise) who lives in Johannesburg 1976. She lives in a time when Blacks and Whites were still rivalries, but her parents strongly believe that everyone is equal no matter what colour their skin is. Ruby falls in love with Johann an Afrikan boy 'who's presnce brings hushed whispers and disapproving glances'. I loved this book and I'm reading it for a 2nd time at the moment. It's a really good book. I loved this book and would reccomend it to people who like to read books about reality rather than the boy next door, and also to people who read 'The Year The Gypsies Came'...
