A review by intheafrofuture
The Color Purple by Alice Walker

emotional sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

I have to say, Celie is one of my favorite fictional characters written. I loved the writing style of the novel so much, it creates something so raw and immersive.  

This book is just so gay but so heartbreaking that I went through so many emotions throughout.  Each character is simply a product of society and the commentary on Black american's relationship to Africa was such an important aspect of this book.  

Oh Alice
