Coming of age is The Color of Earth...

Artwork - beautiful.

Writing - soft, gentle, cautious, beautiful.
Characters - full, varied, nuanced
Story - historical snapshot of life, engaging, interesting, addictive


Coming of Age - for girls, but also for boys, is handled with humor and realism. The way the main young lady learns about her body in a piecemeal way, is so indicative of the way some girls learn, and really funny, too.

Love - believable love triangle for the youth. So slow and sweet.

Love - EXTRA slow and just as sweet - the mom and the traveling salesman. The shoes at the door? Leaving a brush behind? I loved it.
