The Color of Light

De: Karen White

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

An emotionally moving novel of a woman in search of a new beginning and a man haunted by the past—from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels.

At thirty-two, Jillian Parrish finally finds the courage to put herself in the driver’s seat of her life. Pregnant and recently divorced, she and her seven-year-old daughter find refuge and solace on Pawleys Island, South Carolina—Jillian’s only source of happy childhood memories. Summers spent at her grandmother’s beach house had been Jillian’s sanctuary from indifferent parents—until her best friend Lauren Mills disappeared, never to be found.

Linc Rising, Lauren’s boyfriend and Jillian’s confidant, had been a suspect in Lauren’s disappearance. Jillian had never doubted his innocence—but because her parents had whisked her back home to Atlanta, she never got a chance to tell him. Now, a resentful Linc is back on Pawleys Island—renovating the old Mills house. And as ghosts of the past are resurrected, and as Jillian’s daughter begins having eerie conversations with an imaginary friend named Lauren, Jillian and Linc will uncover the truth about Lauren’s disappearance and about the feelings they have buried for sixteen years...

Another great Karen White

Love this author and narrator. Great story. Just what I needed. If you haven't listened to the Sound of Glass, it's a must!

It was cheesy but spots of beautiful writing

Predictable but still enjoyed overall. Some parts of the book were super cheesy, mostly parts involving Grace.

Good story

I really enjoyed the story. A bit frustrating that the characters didn't see the connections/truths staring them in the face/or that they were in denial for so long when the listeners probably saw it from early on. But it was a really good story full of emotion and mystery. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a refreshing book.

Keeps you guessing

I really liked this story! It kept you wondering. There was one small slip in continuity, but still a really good story.

Narration was good too. At first, I didn’t think I’d be able to handle the fake southern accent being a southerner myself. But it really wasn’t that. Also, the narrator did great with the kids voices.

Another great one from Karen White!

I have read most all of her books and this one did not disappoint! I love her use of the slightly supernatural and always look forward to her new offerings.

Great characters - wonderful plot

Loved this Karen White novel. Such a good storyline and very touching - couldn’t guess the end entirely . Very good narrator as well which really also makes a difference while listening to the story . Another Karen White gem!!

Jillian's confidence in herself grows steadily

I like how Linc and Jillian support each other in their personal struggles and find love again.

Captivating

Great book! Grabs you from the start and continues to do so throughout the entire book.

Great listen!

I love everything about this book. The storyline, the characters and the narration were all five stars. I did not want this book to end.

Characters and the emotions of the story

Loved the story and the way the narrator brought everyone to life
I would definitely recommend this book
