The Ingenious and the Colour of Life by J.Y. Sam
"A free book from Voracious Readers thank you

Wonderful characters and a gripping story. Secret government projects abandoned and those involved brought together some years later under terrifying circumstances.

What will be next for these young genetic" Read more of this review »

The Ingenious and the Colour of Life by J.Y. Sam
"I was given this book to read by Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review.

To be honest this is not the type of book I would normally choose to read so expected to not like it or get confused by it but I was so wrong! This is one of the" Read more of this review »

Quotes by J.Y. Sam  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Her mother’s voice – which came as a whisper in her ear – seemed so solid, so clear in Milly’s mind, that it was like insects preserved perfectly in amber. The warmth of her mother’s breath, the whiff of the peppermints she sucked, and the light tickle of her hair – all perfectly encapsulated in her cerebrum.

And so as the girl blossomed into a teenager, she had by now learnt to live with this condition, and soon came to appreciate the specialness of it. Even dead, her mother would always be there. With her.”
J.Y. Sam, The Ingenious and the Colour of Life

“Tai stumbled back, and sat, stunned, on the ground next to the dead man. There was an acrid bitterness in his mouth, and he spat it out into the river. It was as if he had tasted death itself, and it sickened him.”
J.Y. Sam, The Ingenious and the Colour of Life

“Consciousness slipped slowly away, as he watched through gaping roof-holes pinprick stars high up, glistening against a purple sky. He thought of his mother and Dog and the kittens and Cat, as the stars began dropping to the earth like molten bullets, gradually fading away.”
J.Y. Sam, The Ingenious and the Colour of Life
