Despite the TWs below, Alice Walkerās The Color Purple is a masterpiece. To induce such an visceral response via highly emotive and sometimes haunting portrayals, is truly phenomenal. I am in awe of the writing, pacing, plot and characters. Truly a timeless and sadly still relatable exceptional piece of literature that has thoroughly earned its place as a classic. Everyone should read this. If it canāt spark even a little emotion in you then I donāt know what can.
