The Color of Earth Paperback – Deckle Edge, March 31, 2009

The Color of Earth is a beautiful story and I loved every page. This is simply a story about a little girl asking questions about her body and becoming a young woman. As a mother of two young daughters, I would want them to read this book at the appropriate age, probably 13 years old; that is how old Ehwa is at the end of the book. I thought the author depicted a young girl's journey to womanhood beautifully with the use of rain and flowers. I loved the illustrations and imagery used throughout the book.This book is the first in a trilogy with others entitled, The Color of Water and The Color of Heaven. I just ordered them and I can't wait to read them! I highly recommend reading this trilogy.

This is has beautiful artwork and the plot line is really a pleasure to read. It is about a single mother and her daughter. Once you read it, you'll find you have to get the other books of this series "The Color of Water" and "The Color of Heaven." Each book is about the relationship of the mother and daughter as see grows up. I found myself really loving it and recommending to a number of people

What a good read! So good that I've been loaning this book out to other people who are interested in this story. I also bought another one as a gift for someone!

I purchased the whole trilogy of these books, they came in great condition and i can't wait to read them, i would recommend this to people who have the other books or are just interested in Historical Slice-of-life stories.

Concluding volume in the trilogy.

Completed in one sitting.

It was alright.

The art was relatively great. The story line and unprecedented sexual behaviors made me dislike this novel.

"The Color of Earth" beschreibt in wunderschönen Bildern (und in englisch) das Wachsen eines koreanischen Mädchens in einer Welt vor unserer Zeit. Die Außenwelt wird nur angedeutet und die Geschichte handelt hauptsächlich von Ehwa und ihrer Mutter sowie den diversen Liebesobjekten. Und immer wieder steht eine Blume für eine gewisse Entwicklungsstufe. Die Geschichte ist sehr schön zu lesen. Ich bin so richtig darin versunken.
