Colors by J.M. FerreiraMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Colors by J.M. Ferreira is a brilliantly written book about Pua and her struggle to find herself and her identity. The writing is evocative and thoughtful. The setting is lush and well described. Hawaii opens up in this novel in new ways, revelatory ways that never were thought of before. The description of the homeless camp on the remote beach makes it feel like home, it is cozy and strangely comforting. The family relationships are finely tuned and immensely challenging for Pua. This is a fascinating and beautifully written book, more on the level of literature than just a novel. Thought-provoking and memorable, this book is highly recommended.
