This is one of the 1001 books you MUST read before you die!

Winner of the Whitbread Novel of the Year Award for Music and Silence

"This is a writer whose breadth of imagination and supple prose transcend the genre: she is one of the finest writers in English."
~ Daily Telegraph

Joseph and Harriet Blackstone emigrate from Norfolk to New Zealand in search of new beginnings and prosperity. But the harsh land near Christchurch threatens to destroy the almost before they begin. When Joseph finds gold in the creek he is seized by a rapturous obsession with the voluptuous riches awaiting him deep in the earth. Abandoning his farm and family, he sets off alone for new gold-fields over the Southern Alps, a moral wilderness where many others, under the seductive dreams of 'the colour, are violently rushing to their destinies.
By turns both moving and terrifying, The Colour is about a quest for the impossible, an attempt to mine th complexities of love and explore the sacrifices to be made in the persuit of happiness.
