Un libro leído para el club de lectura: difficult women bookclub de Sevilla.
Es un clásico que todo el mundo debería leer no solo por su extensa historia, desarrollada en tan solo doscientas cincuenta paginas sino que la forma en la que está es única.
En modo de correspondencia conocemos a Celie la protagonista de la historia y sobre su duro paso por el mundo, siendo el machismo, abusos y pérdida parte de su día a día.

Esta novela es revolucionaria, no solo por su historia feminista sino por incluir representación sexual complicada para la época. Sin duda uno de los mejores clásicos que hay.

Con una historia y personajes impactantes.
