Inspired by the lost voices of the Romany Holocaust this heartbreaking & tender novel will appeal to readers who loved Sophie`s Choice, Schindler`s Ark & The Book Thief. Austria, 1944. Jakob, a gypsy boy
- half Roma, half Yenish
- runs, as he has been told to do. With shoes of sack cloth, still bloodstained with another`s blood, a stone clutched in one h&, a small wooden box in the other. He runs blindly, full of fear, empty of hope. For hope lies behind him in a green field with a tree that stands shaped like a Y. He knows how to read the l&, the sky. When to seek shelter, when not. He has grown up directing himself with the wind & the shadows. They are familiar to him. It is the loneliness that is not. He has never, until this time, been so alone. ` Don`t be afraid, Jakob, ` his father has told him, his voice weak & wavering. ` See the colours, my boy, ` he has whispered. So he does. Rusted ochre from a mossy bough. Steely white from the sap of the youngest tree. On & on, Jakob runs. Spanning from one world war to another, taking us across Engl&, Switzerland & Austria, Jakob`s Colours is about the painful legacies passed down from one generation to another, finding hope where there is no hope & colour where there is no colour.
