A novel of “love, friendships and laughter, heartbreak, loss and tears, simply life in its full glory” from the author of 183 Times a Year (A Bookaholic Swede). Life is never straightforward. Lizzie is fast approaching fifty. Her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest: Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia. And although Connor, Lizzie’s teenage son, is now on his own tormented passage to adulthood, his quest to get there is a far quieter journey than that of his sisters. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But things are never quite as black and white as them seem . . . A visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. And that’s just to start. Add to the mix an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, plus a new man in her life, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you’re busy making plans. Nobody said it would be easy. Lizzie knows only too well that life is never straightforward when you see all the colours in between. “All the Colours in Between explores the theme of families in a highly captivating read, full of laughter, tears, and bittersweet moments. A fabulous and surprising read that I would highly recommend.” —The Book Review Café “Filled with emotion: you’ll laugh and you’ll cry but you’ll never forget All the Colours in Between. The characters are so enchanting that I think of them as my own family and I’m sure many readers feel the same.” —The Book Magnet Don’t miss the third book in the trilogy, Time Will Tell

FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE “[Han Kang writes in] intense poetic prose that . . . exposes the fragility of human life.”—from the Nobel Prize citation SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • A “formally daring, emotionally devastating, and deeply political” (The New York Times Book Review) exploration of personal grief through the prism of the color white, from the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian “Stunningly beautiful writing . . . delicate and gorgeous . . . one of the smartest reflections on what it means to remember those we’ve lost.”—NPR While on a writer’s residency, a nameless narrator focuses on the color white to creatively channel her inner pain. Through lyrical, interconnected stories, she grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, attempting to make sense of her older sister’s death using the color white. From trying to imagine her mother’s first time producing breast milk to watching the snow fall and meditating on the impermanence of life, she weaves a poignant, heartfelt story of the omnipresence of grief and the ways we perceive the world around us. In captivating, starkly beautiful language, The White Book offers a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and of our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.

Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
