• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

I have seen the original movie and the new musical movie adaptation. I have seen the revival of The Color Purple on Broadway. I have performed in the musical at a local community theatre in Carmel, IN. I finally read the novel and my love for this story has deepen. There was trauma through this book, but continued to shine through and never die is the LOVE!!!! BEAUTIFUL! "Look What God Has Done.....AMEN!"
