Read: The Color of Water

I recently finished The Color of Water by James McBride. I bought it a little under three years ago (wow, time is flying) in a used bookstore in NYC across the street from Magnolia Bakery. My mom and had just gobbled down our cupcakes and wandered in, so upon the recommendation of my mom I purchased The Color of Water. For some reason I just never read it. I could only fit a limited number of books in my bags to Seattle, so I picked only ones I hadn’t yet read. This one came along for the ride. For whatever reason I picked it up to read on Sunday, and finished it last night. It is simple and reads quickly, but eloquently written. For some reason it just spoke to me and I really enjoyed it.
