Rapeseed

By Nancy Freund

Named a Foreword Reviews finalist for Book of the Year in General Fiction, and a category finalist for the Eric Hoffer Prize, 'Rapeseed' is a colorful novel of a woman's self-discovery and family secrets -- about moving abroad to finally find her own heart and home. A synesthete with blended senses, Carolann Cooper sees her letters and numbers and turbulent memories in color. Her family's move from Kansas to London cracks open her complicated history and exposes secrets she's been keeping with her husband -- and from him as well -- just as her teenage son enjoys dangerous new freedoms abroad. Carolann must urgently find out who she really is, to reconcile her past with her family's future.
