Why read it?
1 author picked The Colour Storm as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Colour Storm is set in Venice in 1510, where the Renaissance’s greatest artists are competing to be the first artist to get their hands on a mysterious new pigment, which is said will transform art forever but may only exist to drive them all mad.
I have honestly never read such an unusual and beautiful book. The author’s ability to evoke colour is incredible. Add to that a brilliantly written thriller full of ambition and rivalry and a complex love story, all set against a dankly gothic Venice, and it’s an absolute winner.
