** SHORTLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2023** ** WINNER OF
THE 2022 GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD IN FICTION** Named a
Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The New Yorker,
Vulture, The Times Literary Supplement, and more What if this world
is just a first draft, made by some great artist in order to be
destroyed? In this first draft, a woman named Mira leaves home to
study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira's
chest like a portal - to what, she doesn't know. When Mira is
older, her beloved father dies, and she enters that strange and
dizzying dimension that true loss opens up. Pure Colour tells the
story of a life, from beginning to end. It is a contemporary bible,
an atlas of feeling and a shape-shifting epic that is celestially
bright and streaked with beauty. 'Beautiful and impossible to put
down. Sheila Heti is a genius.' Avni Doshi 'This one-of-a-kind
novel... feels nothing less than vital.' Observer 'An original, a
book that says something new for our difficult times.' Anne
Enright, Guardian 'A treat.' Stylist _______________________ PRAISE
