This book was great although at some parts I was confused or a little disinterested overall it’s an amazing book and I feel as though the message of female empowerment is so great and overcoming challenges also a great point. I will say it might be a hard read because of the topics in it so I would say there are definitely trigger warnings and to educate yourself on what they are before you choose to read it or not. I would say this book is in my top three favorite books I read this school year.

Das Buch ist in viele einzelnen Briefen verfasst. Celie, die Hauptperson, schreibt zunächst an Gott. Sie begegnet vielen Herausforderungen und Schicksalsschlägen.

Im Verlaufe des Buchs findet sie queere und platonische Liebe, Glück und am Ende auch ihre Schwester Nettie wieder. Die Figuren müssen sich mit Sexismus und Rassismus zurecht finden. Es entsteht ein unbeschreiblicher Zusammenhalt, nachdem Celie entscheidet ihr Leben nach ihren Wünschen zu gestalten.

I'm so glad I decided to reread it, I didn't know how to appreciate it before. I loved how Celia grew during the story, seeing her

stand up for herself

was so powerful.
