A colorful novel of a woman’s self-discovery and family secrets — about moving abroad to finally find her own heart and home. ‘Rapeseed’ is a wonderful coming-of-age novel about a teenage boy, an extraordinary woman, and an American family in England… because families come of age too. A synesthete with blended senses, Carolann Cooper sees her letters and numbers and turbulent memories in color. Her family’s move from Kansas to London cracks open her complicated history and exposes secrets she’s been keeping with her husband — and from him as well — just as her teenage son enjoys new freedoms abroad and starts taking frightening risks. Carolann must urgently find out who she really is, to reconcile her past with her family’s future.
“A novel of resilience and heart, of teenaged indiscretions and marital discontentment, humor… and boundless compassion.” — Amber Dermont, New York Times bestselling author of ‘The Starboard Sea.’
