A review by altayyuce
Meridian by Alice Walker

4.0

This book is grand in what it sets out to do. Walker charts such a complicated story of the issues intertwined in race relations, gender, and American history, with openly raw and vulnerable characters . The text is also undeniably well written; often like poetry, (she she was sharp and bright like a ray of light”), however, this story will drain you emotionally. It is sad, many times, but is also beautiful and rejuvenating. Just keep that in mind if you’re going to read.
