A review by verityw
Meridian by Alice Walker

4.0

This has been on my shelf for a while but I finally got around to reading it in the final stretch of the ReadHarder challenge for 2017. I've read a fair few Alice Walker novels over the years and this was everything that I have come to expect from her: a powerful exploration of the life of a black woman, her family and the people around her. This is centered around Meridian who is part of the civil rights movement in the 1960s and all that that entailed. A good read, if not a fun one.
