Who is the author of the book of ruth in the bible.

The authorship of the Book of Ruth in the Bible is traditionally attributed to the prophet Samuel. However, there is no definitive evidence to confirm this, and the true author remains uncertain. Some scholars suggest that it may have been written by an anonymous author during the time of the monarchy in Israel. The book itself focuses on the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman, and her loyalty to her mother-in-law Naomi, as well as her eventual marriage to Boaz.
