'A mad moving beautiful novel' Independent The world of Mood Indigo is a stained-glass
cartoon kind of a place where the piano dispenses cocktails the kitchen mice dance to the
sound of sunbeams and the air is three parts jazz. Colin is a wealthy young aristocrat with a
big heart. The instant he sees Chloe bass drums thump inside his shirt and soon the two are
married. Typically generous Colin gives a quarter of his fortune to his best friend Chick so
he can marry Chloe's friend Alyssum. But a lily grows in Chloe's lung and Colin must spend
his remaining fortune on the only available treatment: surrounding her daily with fresh
flowers. Chick squanders his share of Colin's money on rare books and it is not long before the
friends are forced to sacrifice their carefree lives to soul-crushing work. A surreal cult
classic that continues to inspire and endure Mood Indigo is an animated and delightful satire.
