Summary

The Luminaries is one type of story, The Colour another, so it is not doubling up to read both, trust me. What they do have in common is New Zealand Gold Rush, with heinous behaviour, deceit and avarice lavishly drizzled over. Fully recommended. Unusually for a young writer, her early novels were much concerned with older people. Letter to Sister Benedicta (1979), which followed Sadler's Birthday, is told from the point of view of a disappointed middle-aged solicitor's wife, while The Cupboard (1981) recounts the life story of an 87-year-old novelist who is close to death. They were well received, and in 1983 Tremain was chosen, alongside Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes and Pat Barker, among others, as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists. Harriet and Joesph and Joseph's mother Lilian have arrived in NZ from England to improve their fortunes, all three in need of a new start, for reasons that are slowly revealed throughout the novel. Amy Dowden stuns in a striped maxi dress as she arrives at Strictly Come Dancing studios after giving health update amid her cancer battle

Little is known outside the South Pacific of New Zealand's mid-19th century gold rush that brought thousands of hopefuls to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The setting is as strong a character in this stark, beautiful and tragic novel as its human protagonists.

Ich interessiere mich sehr für Geschichte, doch leider gibt es viel zu wenige anspruchsvolle historische Romane. Die Farbe der Träume stellt eine dieser Ausnahmen dar. This book is beautifully and atmospherically written. It conjures a sense of time and place and reminds me of the type of writing we find in novels of the 19th century. All the senses come into play in the creation of these scenes. Tremain brings these characters to life. We understand their deepest desires, anxieties, strengths, flaws, and what drives their actions, even acts that are not particularly pleasant. The novel follows a husband and wife who have decided to start anew in New Zealand in the mid-nineteenth century only to be thwarted at every turn and estranged. Blah blah blah. Jeff Brazier breaks down in tears as he pays tribute to his late ex Jade Goody as their son Bobby Brazier performs heartbreaking tribute to her on Strictly Tremain describes William Golding as an influence on her own work. She has also written of her admiration for Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 1967 classic One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the trace of magical realism is apparent in her vivid imagery: Music and Silence took her evocation of the cold, dark wine cellar in which the king's musicians work as its starting-point. Critics, including Christina Konig, have complained of the "freight of symbolism" in Tremain's work, but her intense, metaphorical prose has many admirers. McEwan says, "I think she's a true stylist, which is surprisingly rare. In other words she's a writer who cares about her novels at the level of the sentence."
