What Members Thought
Through her letters we learn about Celie’s life, the circumstances she grows up in, the loveless marriage she is trapped in, the people she meets and what happens to them. We see her struggle with daily life, how her view of the world changes, how her growth in strength changes her relationships, how being black affects her and the people around her.
This book was so real and raw. In the era and part of the country this is set in these were real issues that people faced. What happened behind closed doors was between those people. If you were abusing your spouse, or child, others didn't get involved. The pain that Celle faced to try and protect her family is heartbreaking.
