The Missing Shade Of Blue

Adopting a philosophical stance on life and relationships and dealing with "the suffering that comes with knowledge of the world", The Missing Shade of Blue inevitably takes an elevated literary view of its subject, but that doesn't mean that it is in any way detached from the reality of day-to-day matters or lacking in any sense of real human characteristics. Rather it is in the conflict between living through the complicated matters of life, relationships and marriage - particularly one that is breaking up - and the idea that we can make sense of it all as being part of some grander scheme, that Jennie Erdal's novel engages with the reader, attempting to reconcile those complex thoughts and feelings herself through the less than precise form of language.
Simply brilliant.
This is an interesting mix of reality and romance, but I struggled a little bit with the storyline. Read the full review at OurBookClub.
