I'm a big fan of author Phyllida Shrimpton after reading Sunflowers in February, that I gave five stars to, and I've given The Colour Of Shadows five stars too. I loved the sunflower on the front cover of Sunflowers in February and now I love the silky design of silver leaves on front of the paperback The Colour Of Shadows. I hope theses leaves and pictures of silky flowers will be Phyllida's trade mark design for all her books.

There's nothing worse than lies I mean being lied to. Seventeen year old Saffron for the first time goes into the family attic, that she had always been forbidden to do. But she only went into the attic to find some old photographs for an A-level project, she finds something in the attic that instantly tells her that her mother is not dead like her father had told her. I totally had full sympathy for Saffron and I was pleased that in a rage she phoned her father. After all an explanation of the truth is deserved. Upset with what she see in the attic what will Saffron do next ? And how will her dad explain what really happened to her mother. Phyllida Shrimpton is a fabulous writer and I'm very happy to strongly recommend The Sunflowers in February and The Colour Of Shadows.
