4.5 stars/ 5

I was expecting this book to be really depressing because of what I had already read about it but it was so uplifting and beautifully written. Very fast paced and perfect for a reader interested in modern issues but also the issues of black women in America and Africa. This book is a feminists must read!
challenging dark emotional

an interesting look into a world I know nothing about.  Life started off so terrible for Celie, but in the end I was glad that she seemed happy.  It was a lot of tragedy and trauma, but the strong women in this book percervered and survived.
