Heartbreaking but hopeful 30+ year story of Celie. This book will make you mad, make you sad, make you wish for a better life for Celie and mostly will make you think long after you have read it.

Heavy, vivacious, rich, provocative. Mandatory reading for anyone living in a patriarchal/racialized context (ie, everyone).

Knew the storyline already and wasn’t a fan of the writing format and style. Still huge fan of the cultural impact and story
