The Color Purple

'A story about Black women living in the intersections of racialized and gendered violence, who find liberation through community with each other. A brutal and beautiful novel'
Brit Bennett

'Every single time I read this book, I walk away as a slightly better person than I was when I picked it up'
Tayari Jones

'I think that The Color Purple was the first book that made me think that I could try to be a writer - or that made me aware that a young black woman from the South could write about the South'
