Celie, arm, zwart en geminacht, wordt uitgehuwelijkt aan een oudere man die haar misbruikt. Het leven is niet gemakkelijk voor Celie, maar zij weet hoe zij moet overleven en heeft maar weinig nodig om het te redden. Dan komt de minnares van haar man, de flamboyante blueszangeres Shug, in haar leven. Zij geeft Celie de moed om te vragen, te lachen, te spelen en, uiteindelijk, om lief te hebben. --back cover

Probably well written but I couldn't be captivated by the story. Language/culture barrier too big for me.

Beautiful, legendary novel about finding your voice. 100% different than the Steven Spielberg adaptation. Late in finding it but glad I did.
