The
Colour of Water
Angela Green
Anna Larssen drifted for years in the wake of one man and
the dream of another and awoke to find herself clinging
to wreckage. Her illusions shattered, she leaves her home
in France and travels to an island at the northern rim of
the world, to a place called Å.
There, beneath the Norwegian Lofoten peaks, as she struggles
to disentangle the fact and fiction of her life, Anna remembers
the enigmatic Resistance hero she married and the mysterious
American she briefly loved; but in resurrecting the past,
she summons up more than mere ghosts of memory. As her past
begins to replay itself around her, Anna realizes that outside
the movies, real heroes are few and far between and that
a love denied can become something dark, obsessive and dangerous.
‘An excellent writer whose characters live . . . impossible
to put down’ — newBOOKSmag
‘An evocative, artfully structured exploration of the
mysteries of identity and the journey back from disillusionment
to hope.’ — Kirkus Reviews
‘One of those novels great to read on a rainy Saturday
. . . a romantic, yet realistic, portrayal of a marriage’
— New Pages
