Red - A fantastic adventure about love, betrayal and the power of curiosity

Five hundred years after what everyone refers to as "something that happened", a new society has emerged. A society in which your position depends on which part of the color spectrum you can see.

This is the world in which Eddie Russett and Jane Grey live. Jane and Eddie must overcome the narrow rules of color politics and find out the truth about their world: What is it, where is it, even when is it? As they expose the lies that threaten their existence, they come to a disturbing conclusion: they are not alone. Beyond the sea, the world is not over at all, it may just be beginning.

Jasper Fforde was born in Wales in 1961. Before he was able to devote himself to writing full-time, he worked in the film industry for 19 years, writing one novel after another on the side. When his first novel "The Case of Jane Eyre" was finally published in 2001, the book was an instant worldwide success and was followed by others. "Gray" is his eighth novel. Jasper Fforde lives in Wales with his wife and six children.
