Ruth Hall is an autobiographical novel by Fanny Fern, telling her life story overlaid with a façade of fiction. Ruth Hall is a fictionalized version of Fanny Fern and one of Ruth's poignant characteristics, and one of the novel's main themes, is her quest for love. The autobiographical novel can be divided into three phases: Ruth's happy marriage, impoverished widowhood, and rise to fame and financial independence as a newspaper columnist.

Un vell jardiner observa durant sis estius la vida d'una família rica en una torre vora el mar. Les festes se succeeixen, els amics excèntrics desfilen, la bellesa del jardí sembla que els ofereixi el paradís a la terra. Però sota l'alegria coven realitats que no respecten res, ni rics ni pobres, ni senyors ni criats: el fracàs de l'amor i la cruesa de l'instint de supervivència. Amb un postfaci de Roser Porta.
