Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A new novel about art, love, loss and time from the author of Motherhood and How Should a Person Be?
Here we are, just living in the first draft of creation, which was made by some great artist, who is now getting ready to tear it apart.
In this first draft, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira's chest like a portal - to what, she doesn't know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and she enters that strange and dizzying dimension that true loss opens up.
Pure Colour tells the story of a life, from beginning to end. It is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge and streaked with beauty. It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling and a shape-shifting epic. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience, and she has reimagined what a book can hold.

Beautiful magical and thoughtful
I enjoyed the journey, the thought and reflections and the poetic way in which Heti explored growing up, being human and what it means to grieve love and be mortal as well as to hold the uncertainty of living and the subconscious pulls that accompany us through life.

Narration is fine…
The narration here is a fair representation of text, well-performed and clear.
Despite having liked a earlier book by this author, I cannot recommend this title but if you like this kind of thing, this is a good audio performance.

it is difficult to recommend
it has some nice moments and thoughts but feels childish in many ways sadly.
