Turner's Paintbox : What is the Colour of Love by Paul Morgan *Paul Morgan is no stranger to the historical fiction genre. His previous novel, The Pelagius Book, based on the life of the fifth-century British Roman theologian and philosopher Pelagius, was well received and found high critical acclaim.Published 1 April, 2007 
Paul Morgan is no stranger to the historical fiction genre. His previous novel, The Pelagius Book, based on the life of the fifth-century British Roman theologian and philosopher Pelagius, was well received and found high critical acclaim. Morgan’s new novel is essentially a modern-day love story set in Sydney. Gerard Moyne is an intelligent and sought-after art historian and critic who, on a chance meeting, encounters the beautiful Julia-and the attraction is too strong and passionate to ignore. Gerard and Julia inhabit different worlds and when their lives combine the experience is both romantic and challenging. But Gerard needs to learn that love runs more deeply than romance if he wants to hold the elusive Julia forever. Woven into this passionate love story is Gerard’s other great passion, which is the work and life of the much-revered artist J M W Turner. Morgan skilfully weaves these two stories together and what evolves is a gripping story about love and what it means to be oneself in the world, to be able to live truly and still be able to live passionately with another. Turner’s Paintbox is a terrific story that will keep you reading from the first page-I couldn’t put it down!
