When Riley watched Chroma, the latest movie by Armani Manora, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. Riley’s parents, Jean and Paul, are currently getting divorced, and they have managed to keep the situation hidden from Riley, until now.
They were unaware of the effects this was having on Riley’s emotional and mental well-being, and as tensions rose at school and at home, he was visited by a voice in his bedroom. Before too long, he began a journey that was not only dangerous, but eye opening.
Chroma explores the rapidly changing family dynamic throughout divorce, and how a child’s imagination can take them to unknown places. It is emotional, insightful and a moving story which not only teaches us how to be an adult, but how to be a child.
Review:
I wanted to read Chroma by Oscar Wenman-Hyde as soon as I saw the cover. It just looked so intriguing, but I didn’t know how how moving it would be. The story explores divorce through the eyes of a child.
I love the perspective shifts. The writing is really captivating. Once I began reading, there was no setting it down. The emotions were there and the characters felt realistic.
I really enjoyed the ending. I like when authors take a chance and go for something different. I really enjoyed Chroma. Highly recommended.
