The Book of Colour is about childhood, about madness, about the fear of miscegenation - and about a pig. Wandering through dreams and nightmares from Praslin Islands to Mauritius and finally to England, the author unfolds the troubled lives of her forbears, cursed by racial prejudice, sexual inhibition and recurrent mental illness. The book was shortlisted for The Orange Prize 1996.
