My continued run through the classics and Goodreads Top 100 books, finds me on another Pulitzer prize winner and a classic one. This time it's a story of a tortured little black woman called Celie who faces nothing but hardships and disappointments all the way. This is the story of how she finds happiness through all the troubles. How despite all the odds she finds love and confidence and success. This is a life story of her and most of it is told through letters written between Celie and her si

I started reading The Color Purple after I read something by Alice Walker which was so close to home and so relatable it made me cry. And suffice to say, the book did not disappoint.
The Color Purple is the story of a black woman Celie, who is sexually abused by her father (read the book for more details on her relationship with the 'father') and is then married away with a man who's previously married with kids and has a 'girl' of his own.

I first saw the movie and let me tell you, I have never cried that much watching a movie in my life. That being said, it was fantastic. I knew I had to read the book.

I saw this movie as a child. But reading this book at 35 years of age was quite different. Very great read!! It is a must read for everyone.
I love this beautiful book and re-read it every couple of years, and I never make it to the end with dry eyes. Celie's story is simultaneously heart-wrenching and inspirational. It's one of the most moving books I've ever read.
