COLOR OF LOVE by Anita Stansfield
The British aristocracy is an inflexible judge. And for Amala, a lovely young Indian woman, that judgment is most keenly felt. Raised from a child by the wealthy Hepworth family following the murder of her parents, Amala grew up alongside the Hepworth’s own daughter, Katarina, and was loved as both sister and daughter. The family is part of the charmed circle of the upper class, but Amala’s place in society is tenuous. As an Indian woman, her life is marked by a sense of otherness and voices of prejudice. So when she embarks upon a sweet acquaintance with Henry Breckenridge, a white Englishman, Amala is both elated and terrified. She knows first-hand the opposition that an interracial couple would face, and courtship with Henry could destroy his standing in society.
Determined to spare the reputations of both Henry and her sister Katarina, Amala flees England with the hope that an extended trip will allow her time to heal her broken heart. But she never imagined the repercussions of that decision, and the heartbreak awaiting her. For when she returns to England, she finds those she holds dear facing unparalleled devastation. And now it is her love that holds the key to healing a broken family . . .
My Review-
I love historical fiction novels and I love all the books I have read by Stnsfield, so when given the opportunity to read both I jumped on it! I really enjoyed this book! Altough I though it was a little too quickly formed, I loved reading about Henry falling in love with Amala and how she loves him in return. It has surprising things that happened that stirred my emotions. At first I felt happy, then sad, then mad and frustrated! Amala, being from India, but living in England and understanding the ramifications of marrying and Englishman knows that it could be bad for her adoptive family and those she loves. Will she stay with him or leave so as to not hurt those around her that she loves? See what happens and fall in love with this book like I did! I recommend this for anyone who loves clean historical romance novels!!
