The Color of Life--A Must Read Reviewed by Loraine Oliver Copy received from NetGalley By Loraine Oliver The Color of Life is the first book I have read by this author and although it is the second book, it can be read as a stand alone. This book is about a coming of age young woman who has to pull herself up from her childhood, all the way up until the time this book starts- when she's in her early 20's, to finally start living.When she is younger Claire after neglect and lack of anyone caring for her, winds up at the house of a woman named Serafine Mernard, who unknown to Claire until after Sera's death and the death of her business manager, Leonard Stern passes, was her Great Aunt. She never wanted Claire to know until after she passed and so she was not told, even though she loved Claire.This book really is the story about Sera (Serafine) and her business manager Leonard Stern, And what a story it is, a life time that spans over 65 years or so! It is a wonderful book that goes into the life of the people in New Orleans and how they lived and how some of them that could- would pass for white people as it made their lives easier than being creole or colored, and it is sad to read about the need for the secrecy, and how it even affected their relationships with their own children and grandchildren and other family members. I learned a lot reading this book and I am so glad I did.The sad part however is how even though they supposedly did it for good reasons, as in the case of Sara and Leonard they both lied their whole lives and Leonard was in love with Sera, but yet he married and then got a maid pregnant, and after he brought his wife(Rose) home, he brought the maid and her little boy -his son into the house and the wife (Rose) was none the wiser. At the same time he loved Sera, actually she was the only one he ever loved, but after something happened to her when she was maybe 20, she never wanted any man to ever touch her and she led a lonely life alone like that.This book really touched my heart that people had to live like this; it took place at the turn of the 20th century, actually 1899 or so and by the time Claire comes along it is already in the later part of the 20th century. In the case of Sera, her Aunt was passing for white and she was a business woman, and then Sera followed in her footsteps and also became a business owner. Leonard was a white Jewish man that passed as a catholic, and his brother Daniel Stern was the one that was married to Sera's Aunt and she was passing as white also. So we see from this story how the lie passes from one generation to another and then another!When Leonard Stern passed away, his solicitor was the one who got in touch with Claire and mailed her Aunt Sera's memoirs to her that she had written and luckily Leonard had given it to his solicitor for safekeeping, or Claire would have never known any of it.This book was so well written and I felt so bad reading parts of it how people did not really live free with a secret hanging over their head their whole lives. There were a lot of shocking moments in this book and a lot of twists and turns in the plot and just when you think you can see where this is going, it takes a big turn and I was thrown off, like even at the end of the book when Claire is told something no one knew! The characters were all complex and well developed and even the minor characters played a big part in this book.I think this book is very important, because even though it is written as a fiction story, I think most of this has happened to many people, and it really is a part of American History.It was also awesome to realize that Claire was the one that no matter what was able to follow her dream and get out of there for good, with no ties holding her back! Read this book, it is awesome!I gave this book 5***** Stars and can't wait to read more by this author!
