After
the excellent reception of Ruth's first novel, "The Shaping of
Water", the second one is about to be published. It is called "The
Tin Heart Gold Mine" and is due for publication in mid-January, although
we expect to have copies here in a week's time.
It
will be available in hard copy and Kindle from Amazon and from bookshops and in
it "Heart of
Darkness" and “Lust for Life” collide as the Cold War in Africa gets hot.
Lara, the artist, loves both Oscar, a suave, older entrepreneur, and owner of
the Tin Heart Gold Mine and Tim, a journalist seeking truth. This is a dramatic
story, about vibrant, intriguing characters passionate about art, love, the
making of money and the African bush, whose lives become entangled in war and
politics.
