Some books find you at the right time and this really hit me. I thought it would be much harder to read but it really just feels like you are in Celie's head. Though the subject matter is tough, it is explored in a really interesting insightful way. It really is a beautiful book with my favorite part being the changing relationships. All these people hurt each other but they also love and with time they all shift around in an interesting way.
