ONE OF THE BBC '100 NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD' 'A lush
celebration of all that it means to be a black female' Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie 'A story about Black women living in the
intersections of racialized and gendered violence, who find
liberation through community with each other. A brutal and
beautiful novel' Brit Bennett 'Every single time I read this book,
I walk away as a slightly better person than I was when I picked it
up' Tayari Jones 'I think that The Color Purple was the first book
that made me think that I could try to be a writer - or that made
me aware that a young black woman from the South could write about
the South' Jesmyn Ward 'I got the book and read it, in one day,
when it came out. And then I went back, the next day, and bought
every copy they had' Oprah Winfrey Sisters Celie and Nettie share
the pain and struggle of growing up as African American women in
early twentieh-century rural Georgia. Forced into an abusive
marriage, at least Celie can offer Nettie refuge from their violent
father in her new home - until Nettie catches the attention of
Celie's husband and is forced to leave and forge her own journey.
Through a series of letters spanning twenty years - first from
Celie to God, then between the two sisters - they manage to sustain
their hope in each other across time, distance and silence, in a
triumph of resilience, bravery and ultimately, love.
