Overview

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick Winner of the Pulitzer Prize * Winner of the National Book Award Published to unprecedented acclaim,The Color Purple established Alice Walker as a major voice in modern fiction.

Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this classic novel of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life. "Intense emotional impact . . . Indelibly affecting . . . Alice Walker is a lavishly gifted writer." --New York Times Book Review "Places Walker in the company of Faulkner." --The Nation "Superb . . . A work to stand beside literature of any time and place." --San Francisco Chronicle "A novel of permanent importance." -- Peter S. Prescott,Newsweek
