The Color Purple by Alice Walker

5.0

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back." - Alice Walker , The Color Purple

This Pulitzer Prize Winner is the powerful and moving story of two sisters, Celie and Nettie, who are separated and transformed by cruel circumstances. It depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. It celebrates their strength, determination, strong will and, love.

If you enjoy reading character-driven stories, then you too will love this. It has some of the strongest female characters and all from different walks of life.
