Colour of Water

Anna Larssen drifted for years in the wake of one man and the dream of another and awoke to find herself clinging to wreckage. Her illusions shattered, she leaves her home in France and travels to an island at the northern rim of the world, to a place called A. There, beneath the peaks of Norway's Lofoten islands, as she struggles to disentangle the fact and fiction of her life, Anna remembers the enigmatic Resistance hero she married and the mysterious American she briefly loved; but in resurrecting the past she summons up more than mere ghosts of memory. As her past begins to replay itself around her, Anna realizes that outside fiction real heroes are few and far between and that a love denied can become something dark, obsessive and dangerous.
