Written by Alice Walker, The Color Purple was a novel I purchased as a result of a student's book review.
Interesting read. Definitely a voice for woman.
Walker introduces her complex characters through the voice of Celie as she writes letters to God and later her sister, with final letter again addressed to God.
As a Christian, I was challenged to continue reading as I personally do not condone some of the actions within the novel, yet I realized that not all are as blessed as I have been, that many do what they do to simply survive. Thus, I appreciate the person with whom Celie chooses to converse: God.
