The Color Purple by Alice Walker

5.0

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Amazing read capturing life of minorities and the oppressed in different places in the early twentieth century

I think it was a great insight historically to all the things affecting someone like Celie, the more notable to me;

her sexuality, her connection to her faith, and her relationships and how factors like her race and sex come into this - most importantly the unwavering hope shared between the sisters.

I also really loved the format of the book in the form of letters and the literacy of the two sisters' reflected in this - it made the book even more emotional for me.

100% recommend for anyone to read (with discretion to the content warnings)
