A beautiful celebration of everything that being a black female implies. I adore how The Color Purple is brave enough to cling on to a beautifully reassuring confidence in potential, in forgiveness and generosity and optimism, without trying to soften its punches. Ngozi Adichie, Chimamanda My go-to comfort read is The Color Purple. Every single time I finish reading this book, I feel a little bit wiser than when I started. Thomasie Jones "I believe that The Color Purple was the first book that made me consider trying to be a writer or that made me aware that a young black lady from the South could write about the South," said the reader.
