Ilie Ruby, author of The Salt God's Daughter2. Ilie Ruby’s mesmerizing, exquisitely written tale of lore…

Confessions of a Psychotic Housewife recently read Ilie Ruby’s The Salt God’s Daughter and had this to say, “I fell in love with this exquisitely written tale of lore as I found myself lost in its mesmerizing pages. I was swept away in the heartbreaking moments, pulled into the currents of torment these women pulled through.”

 

3. Adulation for The Salt God’s Daughter 

Peeking Between The Pages gave Ilie Ruby’s The Salt God’s Daughter  praise saying, “It’s without a doubt a beautifully written novel. So much so that I found myself going back over passages a few times because they resonated so much with me. I enjoyed the folklore weaved throughout the story a great deal and while it’s a complex tale in it’s telling, it is also a captivating one. If you enjoy novels that are deep and beautifully written then The Salt God’s Daughter by Ilie Ruby is one you should read!”
