Celie has grown up in rural Georgia, navigating a childhood of ceaseless abuse. Not only is she poor and despised by the society around her, she’s badly treated by her family. As a teenager she begins writing letters directly to God in an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear. Her letters span twenty years and record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the guiding light of a few strong women and her own implacable will to find harmony with herself and her home.

The Color Purple’s deeply inspirational narrative, coupled with Walker’s prodigious talent as a stylist and storyteller, have made the novel a contemporary classic of American letters.
This ebook features a new introduction written by the author on the twenty-fifth anniversary of publication, and an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

A Cor Purpura

"Querido Deus..."
Me pergunto como é possível escrever de uma forma tão linda um livro com tantas dores e sofrimento.

Eu fiquei angustiada em tantos momentos aqui, me tiraram o fôlego mesmo, todas as coisas pelas quais Celie e as outras personagens femininas tem que passar é angustiante.

Acho que o fato de ser narrado pela Celie faz o livro parecer menos "pesado". Eu fiquei muito feliz quando ela finalmente se sentiu em paz.
