Shades of Grey is first rate literary fantasy!
Eddie Russett is on the verge of adulthood. His upcoming color perception test that will determine his place in society, his value on the marriage market and his career prospects. Eddie is ready to unquestioningly take this place in society as a Red, but unfortunately, first he is sent to conduct a chair census in the Outer Fringes.
Interesting side note: The library’s subject headings for this novel are Color blindness-Fiction, Dystopias, Fantasy fiction, and Love stories. Not a combination of subjects I would anticipate seeing in too many more novels. Ever.
Bad Things can be a Good Read
New novel will appeal to fans of No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
BAKING CAKES IN KIGALI presents a delightful glimpse into one woman’s determination to make “sweet lemonade” when life dealt her a handful of “rotten lemons”! Like her counterpart in Alexander McCall Smith’s THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY, Angel Tungaranza also professionally sets up her own business—a cake baking enterprise in Rwanda.
Angel’s baking skills enable her to visit with her clients so that the promised cake will skillfully follow whatever theme is requested. (The reader can also learn from these cooking sessions!)
