I'm so so glad I decided to re-read this book.  I remembered the atmosphere but not the plot, so the way the story and the voices of the characters evolved surprised and delighted me.  Just a beautiful and timeless book.

This one was an emotionally tougher read than I expected. Celie’s experiences challenged me and pushed at my preconceived notions. I love that her quiet strength is validated in the end
