'A triumph' - New York Times Book Review'A startling, tender-hearted tribute to a woman for whom the expression tough love might have been invented' - The Times'As lively as a novel, a well-written, thoughtful contribution to the literature on race' - Washington Post_______________
MORE THAN TWO YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST_______________
From the New York Times bestselling author of Deacon King Kong and The Good Lord Bird, winner of the National Book Award for Fiction, came this modern classic that [...] calls one of the best memoirs of a generation and that launched James McBride's literary career.
As a boy in Brooklyn's Red Hook projects, James McBride knew his mother was different. But when he asked her about it, she'd simply say 'I'm light-skinned.' Later he wondered if he was different too, and asked his mother if he was black or white. 'You're a human being! Educate yourself or you'll be a nobody!' she snapped back. And when James asked about God, she told him 'God is the color of water.'
This is the remarkable story of an eccentric and determined woman: a rabbi's daughter, born in Poland and raised in the Deep South who fled to Harlem, married a black preacher, founded a Baptist church and put twelve children through college. A celebration of resilience, faith and forgiveness, The Color of Water is an eloquent exploration of what family really means.
