Book Synopsis The Book of Color by : Julia Blackburn
Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, an English missionary arrives on a remote island in the Indian Ocean, intent on wiping out fornication among the natives. Instead he incurs a curse that strikes first his dark-skinned wife, then his son and grandson. But is the curse supernatural—or a white man's guilty fascination with an alien new world? “A hypnotic, cryptic, haunting exploration of the power of memory.” —The Boston Globe
