London, 1321: In a small shop in Paternoster Row, three people are drawn together around the creation of a magnificent book, an illuminated manuscript of prayers, a book of hours. Even though the commission seems to answer the aspirations of each one of them, their own desires and ambitions threaten its completion. As each struggles to see the book come into being, it will change everything they have understood about their place in the world. In many ways, this is a story about power - it is also a novel about the place of women in the roiling and turbulent world of the early fourteenth century; what power they have, how they wield it, and just how temporary and conditional it is. Rich, deep, sensuous and full of life, Book of Colours is also, most movingly, a profoundly beautiful story about creativity and connection, and our instinctive need to understand our world and communicate with others through the pages of a book. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Medieval $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prayer books $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Europe $x History $y Middle Ages, 500-1500 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 14th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010458.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191210013520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07DD922A1B1B11EAA846F92397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
