Reviewed by Aglaia Nochmal lesen hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Tolles Leseerlebnis, wenn auch teilweise sehr schrecklich.
Reviewed by LissEveryone should read this book at least once in their life. a beautiful and important tale of what it means to be a black woman in the early 1900. A journey of abuse and love, sisterhood and loneliness, colonialism, racism and religion.

Reviewed by Esa"The Color Purple" was a bit exhausting to read due to the letter novel format, but the story also gained in authenticity. Celie's low level of literacy can be seen, for example, in her style and jargon, while Nettie's letters are written much more fluently and understandably. Above all, there are strong bonds of unwavering sibling love between Celie and Nettie, which made the novel really enjoyable to read. All in all, I was very interested, enriched and touched by the discussion of the topics of racism, slavery, cultural property and colonialism, which is stimulated by this story, which is why I can heartily recommend this novel!
