Synopsis: (back of book) Her mother was a prostitute, her father a murderer, her grandfather a drunkard. She was eighteen years old and beautiful. And blind. And her life was bleak, and narrow, and confined, and she hated the only colour she could see -- which was black. Then one day she meets Gordon. Set in New York, A Patch of Blue has been a bestseller for many years. Out of violence and despair Elizabeth Kata has created a tender and moving love story that touches one of the central issues of our day. Originally published under the title Be Ready With Bells and Drums
