À propos de cet audio
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this novel about a resilient and courageous woman has become a Broadway show and a cultural phenomenon.
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick
Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband.
In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery, her husband’s mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life, and her stepson’s wife, Sofia, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celie’s sister are hidden by her husband, Nettie’s unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all.
The Color Purple has sold more than five million copies, inspired an Academy Award-nominated film starring Oprah Winfrey and directed by Steven Spielberg, and been adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Lauded as a literary masterpiece, this is the ground-breaking novel that placed Walker “in the company of Faulkner” (The Nation), and remains a wrenching - yet intensely uplifting - experience for new generations of listeners.

Wow!
This book is a masterpiece! It covers so many topics it makes my head spin.
Samira Wiley deserves an award for this performance. She portrayed so many characters with such depth; not to mention all the accents she was able to pull off.
I found the beginning hard to stick with because it was so sad, but as soon as the character Sugar was introduced I was hooked. I highly recommend sticking with this story, you won't regret it.

The colour purple
Difficult to read in places but an excellent story. I missed
Some of the story because I had difficulty with understanding some sentences but it was still well worth reading this book.

Painfully beautiful
I saw this movie as a teenager and remember enjoying it. As I listened to it as an adult, mother and privileged first world woman, my heart broke as I rejoiced with uncomplicated and brutal honesty in this story. It offers so much room for self reflection and personal growth as well insight into a world that many people still live in today.
The narrator was impeccable and so genuine as she read this letter-format novel.
I can’t wait to listen again.

Important book, enjoyable listen
Pros: Great characters and story arcs; the text intelligently interrogates ideas of race, gender, and sexuality. Samira Wiley develops unique voices for each character and beautifully brings them to life.
Cons: Several of the major plot points are predictable, and sometimes Wiley can come across as overwrought and overacting.
Overall, definitely worthy of your time and money
