The Color of Love by Sandra Kitt

jackiehorne's review against another edition

2.0

It was difficult to be drawn into this acclaimed 1995 interracial romance, in part because the "telling rather than showing" style is so different from most romances being written today, and in part because the heroine is so utterly lacking in self-esteem (and the narrative doesn't present this as a problem to be overcome). Only in part 2, when the protagonists finally start dating, and clumsily try to deal with the prejudice they encounter (and their own biases) did the story begin to interest me. I can see why the book would have seemed innovative in its day, and Kitt is a solid writer, but I have a hard time imagining many readers finding its dated story and characters compelling today.

Books I've read and provided detailed reviews over the years but all data is lost after accidental deletion and GD's refusal to restore it back.
