Rapeseed is a wonderful, layered coming-of-age story about an extraordinary woman and her smart and quirky teenage son. It's also a coming-of-age story of the family -- an expatriate American family in England -- because families develop and 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 son is enjoying risky new freedoms abroad. Carolann must urgently find out who she really is, to reconcile her past with her family's future. Rapeseed is a many-colored, cross-cultural debut novel from a bright new voice in contemporary fiction.
Genre: FICTION / GeneralFive-star average reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, Rapeseed is enjoying steady sales since its debut in September, through online retails (in print and ebook) and bookstores (primarily in Switzerland) and through direct sales through book clubs in several countries.
