COLOR OF WATER by James McBride

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

The Color of Water touches readers of all colors as a vivid portrait of growing up, a haunting meditation on race and identity, and a lyrical valentine to a mother from her son. (From the book jacket.)

The Color of Water

The New York Times Book Review
The two stories, son’s and mother’s, beautifully juxtaposed, strike a graceful note.
The Boston Globe
Superbly written…a moving and exciting story that totally satisfies.
The Washington Post Book World
Lively…a well-written, thoughtful contribution to the literature on race.
