Olive Wellwood, a successful author, creates a unique book with colored covers for each of her children.

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2009, it won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2010.
For readers of historical and literary fiction, especially those who enjoy novels about books, families and Edwardian England.
