"The Colour of Life" by Alice Meynell is a collection of essays that uses color as a lens through which to view life's subtle but profound beauty; challenging conventional associations such as red meaning life, the author proposes that true vitality is found in softer, more nuanced shades. Her eloquent prose explores the symbolism of diverse colors within nature and human emotion. The narrative showcases scenes from London, contrasting urban environments with natural elements and spotlighting the resilience and vibrancy of a child against the monochrome backdrop of the city. Meynell masterfully guides readers to recognize the power of color for expressing the deeper truths of existence.
