All The Colours Of The Dark by Chris Whitaker

I don't even know where to start with this book. I am still recovering from it. I didn't think Chris could beat We Begin At The End but he did. I never cry at books but I sat on my garden steps and I wept for half an hour. Because it is brilliant. Because it is brave and sad and clever and funny. Because it was over and I didn't want it to be. I will read anything this man writes. I am jealous of people who haven't read it yet.



From the back


Late one summer, the town of Monta Clare is shattered by the abduction of teenager Joseph 'Patch' Macauley. Nobody more so than Saint Brown, who will risk everything to find her best friend.

But when she does: it will break her heart.

Patch lies alone in a pitch-black room - until he feels a hand in his. Her name is Grace and, though they cannot see each other, she lights their world with her words.

But when he escapes: there is no sign she ever even existed.

Left with only her voice and her name, he paints her from broken memories - and charts an epic search to find her.

As years turn to decades, and hope becomes obsession, Saint will shadow his journey - on a darker path to hunt down the man who took them - and set free the only boy she ever loved.

Even if finding the truth means losing each other forever...
