A review by notesofacrocodile
The Color Purple by Alice Walker

5.0

5☆ — it has been a bit since i finished this book and the story is still humming within me. alice walker wrote some brilliant women characters in this novel, each growing into their own and having their own journeys, each strong and determined in their own way. another thing i loved is how blackness, womanhood, and queerness has been intertwined so intricately and masterfully- i can fully understand why this classic has been revered and loved and accorded with the kind of status that it has been given even today. particularly loved the way she explored themes of god and religion through diverse perspectives.
