I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book and I love it when that happens. It allows the authors words to freely flow taking me somewhere completely unexpected. Exactly that happened as I digested each page of The Colour of Shadows.
The book follows two main characters, Saffron (the person this book is actually centred on) and her friend Tom.
We meet a collection of people who impact the lives of Saffron and Tom in ways that make us as a reader reflect on our own perceptions of our lives and the people who impact on us.
Saffron stumbles upon a secret that her father has been keeping. She takes it upon her 17year old self to run away and find answers when they aren’t given simply.
Believing a life on the streets while she tries to conquer her quest, is better than the life of luxury she has at home, Saffron mingles with the homeless learning things aren’t always what they appear to be.
For one I know I won’t look at a homeless person the same way again. It is easy to judge on appearance but we must remember that to every person there is a story that we don’t know.
