''The Colour of God is an engrossing read, not because it tells the story of one woman’s journey from "subjugation" within a puritanical sect of Islam to finding ‘liberation’ by taking off her veil, but because it refuses and interrogates these facile labels. Chaudhry is brilliant at dissecting how fundamentalism took root in her family, and she’s equally good at holding up a mirror to the culture that tends to dehumanise those who don’t conform to its norms.' - Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane and Refugee Tales

'The Colour of God meditates on the ways--illuminates the ways--identity, nation, religion, gender, and family are constituted and troubled. It's heartbreaking and, at times, really funny; the profoundly generous heart behind the questions this book asks.' - Ross Gay, bestselling author of The Book of Delights
