Description
‘What if this world is just a first draft, made by some great artist in order to be destroyed?
In this first draft, a woman named Mira leaves home to study.
There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira’s chest like a portal – to what, she doesn’t know.
When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and she enters that strange and dizzying dimension that true loss opens up. Pure Colour tells the story of a life, from beginning to end.
It is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty.
It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and a shape-shifting epic.
