What drew me into this novel and kept me hanging on, more than anything else, were the characters. It has so many elements of a great summer read and I really enjoyed the novel. It’s a sweet story that deals with some heavier themes, but is easy to get into and held my attention throughout. I began reading The Color of Tea when I was on vacation at the beach, and I have to say that was such a good choice because this is a fantastic summer read. But Grace’s marriage has serious cracks in its foundation, and when it reaches a breaking point, she must confront the secrets of her past to move through this difficult time in her life. She decides to open a little cafe specializing in macarons (a light French pastry that Grace associates with good memories of her mother), and the cafe brings new light and purpose to her life, as well as new friends.
They have recently learned of Grace’s infertility, and she must now deal with the fact that all the dreams she had for her life and family have been shattered, possibly taking her marriage with them. Grace Miller has recently moved with her husband to the small island of Macau, due to her husband’s job.
