Ruby Nye has an astonishing gift - her tales touch the heart, they have an emotional depth that makes me care for her heroes. "Beauty Mark" and "A Chief's Day" are both translated on my site, and for good reason. in "Beauty Mark" she tells a delightful, utterly convincing love story that makes my sigh with happiness each time I re-read it (and I do that very often). In "A Chief's Day" she even makes me feel a certain pity for Lotho (which is a rather difficult task) and at the same time unmasks him as a greedy creature, driving himself and the Shire into disaster. And "Rosie's Year" manages what only Mary Borsellino's "Pretty Good Year" ever managed for me before - to make a "Threesome" ring "true". I also should add her elegant, warmhearted security of style, the richness of her imagery and her humour... all of them reasons that make me love her tales since I read the first one nearly one year ago. I'm looking forward to every new story she writes!
