This wasn't a book that I ever intended to read until I saw it sitting on the bestsellers table at Borders and decided to flip through. It pulled me in right away so I not only bought it but ripped through it in less than 24 hours. The Colour Purple is set in Georgia in the inter-war period and narrated by Celie, a woman that is physically and emotionally abused by both her father and husband. In spite of the gritty subject matter though the book feels surprisingly light and remarkably uplifting in parts.
I don't want to give away to much of the plot so won't say more, but would like to add that The Color Purple was a fabulous read and the best book that I have read in a long time.
Overall rating: 9/10
