I have seen this movie but the book, obviously, was better. I loved the writing, the story telling, and Celie. We are reading this our June book club pick in honor of Pride Month! It was incredible and I’m so glad I finally got to experience the words.

I could not stop reading. I do believe this is now my all time favorite Pulitzer.

Me gustó el final, aunque de pronto me sentí como en una alucinación de cuando tienes fiebre. Antes de eso, sí fue difícil leer las situaciones que vivían Celie y Nettie, sobre todo al principio.
