The Colour of Dust and Sunlight

By Emma Charlton

"A beautifully evocative story of love, loss and quiet resilience set against the fading light of the British Empire in India."

In 1937 Eluned leaves Wales for a new life and a promised future. But when that future unravels on arrival, she finds herself alone in a country that feels both vast and unfamiliar.

As the world edges towards war, Eluned must rebuild her life from the ground up. Through chance encounters, unexpected friendships and a love she never saw coming, she begins to carve out a place for herself in a changing world.

From the bustling platforms of Calcutta to the stillness of the northern plains, The Colour of Dust and Sunlight is a story of finding strength when everything falls apart, with the courage to begin again and the quiet, enduring power of human connection.

Inspired by true events, this richly atmospheric novel brings to life a moment in history where everything was shifting and nothing was certain.

Perfect for readers who love immersive social historical fiction with heart.
