A Patch Of Blue

Elizabeth Kata

This was the second book in the book club I moderate. A fairly short and interesting book, but nothing I would rave about.
A blind girl in a bad home situation befreinds and later has feelings for a colored-man, whom she does not know is colored.
It does make you think about racism, and where our prejudices come from so from that stand point it was worth the read.
For the record, my favorite part is when the grandfather finds out she beads necklaces at night. He replies "You do it in the dark?" Hehe......guesse he doesn't get the whole "blind" thing.
