The Colour of Heaven (26 page)

Authors: James Runcie

PRAISE

‘A sensual delight … elegantly written and unashamed fun’

J
OANNE
H
ARRIS

‘As intoxicating and addictive as the substance it describes. The novel is a triumph of inspired imagination’

Financial Times

‘A work of engaging simplicity which reads well, has plenty of light and shade and never patronises the reader. The potent appeal of chocolate … is vividly captured. Mouth-watering descriptions of food litter the text’

Sunday Telegraph

‘His treasure of a book, fantastic and delicious and dreamily erotic by turns, will transmute your yearning for the bitter water into a craving from which you will, quite happily, never recover’
