Scarlet in Blue by Jennifer Murphy
4.0
This was such an interesting story about family, secrets and art.
It follows Scarlet and her daughter, Blue as they move back to a town in Michigan. Scarlet’s a painter and lives her life in a very different way. She starts seeing a local psychoanalyst, Henry, where she begins to share her history.
The story is told in 4 perspectives - Scarlet, Blue, Henry and “the Pianist”. As the book progresses you learn more about Scarlet, and what led to her behaving the way she does. You also learn about Blue, the ways she must take care of her mom and her passion for the piano.
This was such an interesting story and felt like both family drama and mystery. You work to put together the pieces of the story and understand the big event that is teased at the beginning.
