Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Alice
Walker's iconic modern classic is now a Penguin Book. A powerful
cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple
depicts the lives of African American women in early
twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie
and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across
time, distance and silence. Through a series of letters spanning
twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each
other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich
and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and
their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around
domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through
their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and
bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice
Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards
redemption and love.
