The Color Purple

Beautifully Heartbreaking
The Color Purple is a heartbreaking story told through a series of letters, primarily from Celie to God. Celie is a young woman living in the South with few opportunities.
However, despite the tragic circumstances of Celie’s life, she still finds glimmers of hope and deep connection.
Reminiscent of A Fine Balance, The Color Purple perfectly blends hope and light with grim, shattering reality.
The Color Purple is a captivating, shattering tale with an echo of magic.

Watched the movie again when it aired on TCM recently—what a great film!

I'm thinking about this one for my challenge. Awaiting your thoughts!
One of my favourite books. ♥️The movie was already so beautiful and so sad but the book went up to 11. 😭😭
This is one of my sister's favorite books, and I have yet to read it. Great review and reminder!
Incredible, isn't it? 😊
This is a book that stays with you long after you finish reading it.
Agreed...While I've read quite a few Pulitzer winners, this and Lonesome Dove were the only ones I felt were deserving
