The Color Purple

So, if anybody wants to read a really good book, I would definitely recommend The Color Purple. It is a great book that addresses so many issues, such as black rights(set in the past), homosexuality, religion, and child abuse, but it does so in a way that is true to life. The book is told through the letters of Celie, a lesbian black woman who was raped and impregnated by her supposed father and later married off to a man who is abusive, both mentally and physically, to God and her sister Nettie. She tells about her life as she tries to cope with her husband, falls in love with a bisexual woman named Shug Avery, and discovers that she can be someone. It is a great read for almost anyone, however, it deals with serious issues and contains a few instances of language. Still,I would definitely want anyone to read it.
