The Color Purple by Alice WalkerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When a book is a classic, I always feel a little unenlightened when I think they are just ok. The ladies in this novel go through some really hard things (mostly because of their fathers and husbands and lovers) and in the end assert what they need and want and everything turns out ok. Even the men become somewhat more in touch with themselves. I did enjoy the letters from Nettie who became a missionary in Africa and experienced a different point of view of race, family and God. While it was nice to see the progression of these women becoming fully themselves, I just didn't connect with them.
