The Color Lilac is a gripping recollection of former president Yukimori Maeko's life centered around the tragedy of December 12, 1981. In this defining piece ergodic literature, Yukimori retells her life through disjointed segments, poetic dream like narratives, and hidden text. Underneath splashes of color and pages of lilac the story of a nation's mourning, grief, and rebirth is told with the skill readers can expect from the award winning author.
