The Color of Water by James Mcbride
This is James McBride's tribute to his remarkable, eccentric, determined mother, and an eloquent exploration of what family and the colour of your skin really means
A triumph * New York Times Book Review *
A startling, tender-hearted tribute to a woman for whom the expression tough love might have been invented * The Times *
As lively as a novel, a well-written, thoughtful contribution to the literature on race * Washington Post *
Inspiring * Glamour *
Vibrant * Boston Globe *
What is stunning here is the grace and compassion with which a young writer captures how shadows, once thrown, are cast across many generations, while celebrating at the same time a real melting-pot of cultures * Financial Times *
A wonderfully evocative, moving book.. beautifully flowing prose, interlaced with compassion and humour * Literary Review *
