Ashok Kumar Madhunlall on »Shades« by Mary Kettle:
"It is amazing, isn't it Mary, that we are given the gift of life lavished by symphony of colour but we chose to be morose and drab? How ironic that those who have this greyness over them - through no choice of their own - desire a burst of colour, a change of life."
