Mass Market Paperback, 294 pages
English language
Published by Harcourt.
The Color Purple is the story of two sisters-one a missionary to Africa and the other a child wife living in the South-who remain loyal to one another across time, distance, and silence. Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this classic of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life. --back cover
The growth of Celie is one I won't ever get out of my mind.
I feel like I haven't processed the sheer power of this book enough to say I have read it
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.
