The epistolary style works well, but the fact that the plot is a “slice-of-life-over-a-lifetime” made it a little bit meandering for me.

It brings attention to so many incredibly important issues: sexual violence, poverty, inequality, and so much more. At the same time, it beautifully shows how women can stick together, grow with our pain, and still love and be loved after all our traumatic experiences.
The deep love Celie and Nettie have for each other as sisters reminded me of my sibling and me.
I'm so glad the story had a happy ending, I couldn't have handled anything else.
The Color Purple by Alice Walker is such an important classic and definitely a must-read!
