elizabeth ruth on sex, tobacco and motherhood

had lunch today with Elizabeth Ruth (Ten Good Seconds of Silence). Her new book, Smoke, came out in August, is receiving enthusiastic reviews around the country and is the October book of the month for the Chatelaine.com book club.

set in 1958, Smoke is, at first glance, about a farm boy badly scarred by fire and how he heals by listening to the stories of the town's elderly doctor. It is about much more than that but to give more details would be to give clues to the ending.

watch for my interview with Ruth, coming to the author interviews page next week. If you would like to know more in the meantime, here is her site.
