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."--Provided by publisher. 655 7 $a Epistolary fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 9 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025516.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011246.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025012235.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014436.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230104011421.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728021311.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20220201010354.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210902010802.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20200826082912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99D51C02CCAA11EAB0EB862797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
