Review: The Color of Heaven is a truly beautiful book, a wonderfully crafted story. It made me smile and it made me cry, it made me want to hug my kids a little tighter at night and enjoy my days a bit more.
It starts with Sophie's story, her happiness and her losses, but after her near-death experience, a second story kicks in. So, the Color of Heaven is really a story within a story, both weaved with happiness, loss and hope.
I confess I was not prepared for the twist at the end of the book, I certainly did not see it coming though, in retrospect, it makes all the sense.
This is book you should not miss, but keep a box of tissues nearby because it's guaranteed you'll need them. Totally recommended.
Happy readings,
