Publisher's summary

Everyone has secrets, but some can change your life forever....

In the midst of the Second World War, Eva receives the devastating news that her husband is missing and presumed dead. Neither wife nor widow, she lives in a numb state of limbo until, in the heat of an English summer, she meets Bill, a black American GI. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, neither can deny the love that overcomes them in the frantic weeks that follow, when every day could be their last.

After Eva discovers she's pregnant, Bill is shipped off to join the D-Day fight, leaving her alone in a bigoted world. As her mixed-race daughter, Louisa, grows up, how far will Eva go to keep her safe and bury the past? And how far will Louisa go to uncover the truth?

wanted some take charge female characters

in general I enjoyed the theme however the characters particularly the female characters were a little thin somewhat two dimensional I had the feeling life was happening to them and therefore found myself frustrated at times.

Entertaining

The story at several points is unbelievable. I found myself thinking, no one is that stupid. I did want to keep listening and see how it ended. It's like an entertaining trash novel.

Great story but audio voice is messed up!

Loved the story-about a love story that produced a bi racial girl in a world where there were no other minorities, and her life of difficulties due to layers of secrets.
The problem with the overall audio of this book was that suddenly, the main character & all the characters to follow begins to speak with a Jamaican lilt- yet no one was from the Caribbean or elsewhere outside of Louisiana USA, Wales, or either Germany or England....

Lovely Book

Where does The Color of Secrets rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved this book, it is easily my favorite listen of the year. I listened to the last hour and half on this morning's walk with my dog. And I was completely absorbed. So much so, that when I looked back at the route my gps tracked, I was confused because I didn't recall going that direction or walking so far. I really cannot recommend this book enough.
