Critics Review
Gripping, heart-wrenching and so beautifully written. The Colour of Home will stay with me for a long time. * Beth O’Leary *
Compelling story telling, engaging and at times challenging, but ultimately The Colour of Home is a wonderful story of hope. I loved it. * Sally Page *
Astonishingly good - if you read one book in 2026 make it this one. * Heather Critchlow *
Tammye Huf’s searing post-World War II-era novel is a fast-paced, heart-wrenching look at the tragic conundrum of racial identity in the United States, which defined the American experience of that time, and which continues to reverberate in the America of today. The Colour of Home provides a mirror from which readers will not be able to turn away. * Charles B. Fancher, author of RED CLAY *
