Join us as we welcome CHRIS WHITAKER on SUNDAY, JANUARY 12 at 2:00 PM to celebrate his novel ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK
ABOUT THE BOOK:
With the publication of each of his novels, most notably his 2021 New York Times bestseller, We Begin at the End, Chris Whitaker has been earning the adoration of readers and critics alike thanks to his genre-defying, sweeping tales that are inhabited by complex, richly drawn characters. In his new novel, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, Whitaker has upped the ante with a heart-wrenching epic of light and dark, triumph and tragedy, devotion and obsession and the fine line that separates them.

It's the mid-70s and life in Monta Clare, Missouri is not easy for Patch and Saint. Patch is known around their small town as the pirate, a persona he’s adopted to cope both with the birth defect that gave him only one eye and the circumstances that have left him and his widowed, alcoholic mother struggling. For Saint who never knew her parents, solace is found in her beloved grandmother, Norma, and the bees she keeps in their yard. It’s the bees that bring Patch and Saint together and first love that seals their bond—but fate will soon intervene. In the small towns of Missouri, girls have been disappearing and when that danger visits Monta Clare, it will forever alter what Patch and Saint know about truth, devotion, and what we owe to those we love. Both a soaring thriller and an epic love story spanning decades, ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK takes readers on a journey full of unexpected twists, shattering turns, and moments of heart-wrenching beauty that will long stay with you.
PRAISE FOR ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK:
“Melds tense suspense with a powerful exploration of devotion, obsession, and love.” —People
“With deeply affecting characters and ambition to spare, Whitaker has conjured a dazzling epic that defies easy categorization. It’s astonishing.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A richly layered tale of love, loss, and hope.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“This is literary fiction that works as a crime thriller. The deadpan humor is pitch-perfect, the plot cinematic.” —Boston Globe
“This book hits like a sledgehammer. Equal parts harrowing and triumphant, Chris Whitaker’s novel is a haunting story of America, alternating between its twin strands of violence and love. An absolutely must-read novel.” —Gillian Flynn, best-selling author of Gone Girl
“Chris Whitaker kept me frantically turning the pages and somehow made me cry at the end…Brava!” —Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Women
“Impeccably crafted, deeply emotional, entirely shattering. I was captivated from page one.” —Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
