Beautifully evokes scenes of two girls adrift in the . . . bohemian beach culture . . . a breathtaking, fiercely feminine take on American magical realism. Interview MagazineSet in Long Beach, California, beginning in the 1970s, The Salt Gods Daughter follows Ruthie and her older sister Dolly as they struggle for survival in a place governed by an enchanted ocean and exotic folklore. Guided by a mother ruled by magical, elaboratelytold stories of the full moons, which she draws from The Old Farmers Almanac, the two girls are often homeless, often on their own, fiercely protective of each other, and unaware of how far they have drifted from traditional society as they carve a real life from their imagined stories.Imbued with a traditional Scottish folktale and hints of Jewish mysticism, The Salt Gods Daughter examines the tremulous bonds between sisters and the enduring power of maternal lovea magical tale that presents three generations of extraordinary women who fight to transcend a world that is often hostile to those who are different.Indeed, Ruby has written a complicated, multilayered work that shifts shapes to bridge the relationship between tragedy and redemption. The Huffington PostThree generations of indelibly original women wrestle with the confines of their lives against a shimmering backdrop of magic, folklore, and deepburied secrets . . . To say I loved this book is an understatement. Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling authorThe selkie myth lies at the heart of Rubys second novel . . . This is a bewitching tale of lives entangled in lushly layered fables of the moon and sea. Kirkus Reviews
