Ruth is a novel that looks at personal ego versus community values. It's set in a strict and insular religious community with no private property or tolerance for idle questions. Decisions are made by an elevated group of elders. Women are subservient to men as the only way to have loyalty to god. Young people are to be fully protected from themselves.

As described in the book, the protagonist suffers from "brainy female despair".

An honest look at a different way of life, but the author show more does not make it desirable. show less
