In many ways, this is a story about power - it is also a novel about the place of women in the roiling and turbulent world of the early fourteenth century; what power they have, how they wield it, and just how temporary and conditional it is. Rich, deep, sensuous and full of life, Book of Colours is also, most movingly, a profoundly beautiful story about creativity and connection, and our instinctive need to understand our world and communicate with others through the pages of a book.
About the Author
Robyn Cadwallader has published numerous, prize-winning short stories and reviews, as well as a book of poetry and a non-fiction book based on her PhD thesis concerning attitudes to virginity and women in the Middle Ages. She lives among vineyards outside Canberra when not travelling to England for research, visiting ancient archaeological sites along the way.
Industry Reviews
'So beautiful, so rich, so strange, unexpected and thoughtful - also suspenseful. I loved this book.' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
'Affecting ... finely drawn ... a considerable achievement.' - Sarah Dunant, New York Times
'Elegant and eloquent' - Irish Mail
'Cadwallader's writing evokes a heightened attention to the senses: you might never read a novel so sensuous yet unconcerned with romantic love. For this alone it is worth seeking out. But also because The Anchoress achieves what every historical novel attempts: reimagining the past while opening a new window - like a squint, perhaps - to our present lives.' - Sydney Morning Herald
'A novel of page-turning grace' - Newtown Review of Books
