"All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my brothers. I had to fight my cousins and my uncles. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men. But I never thought I'd have to fight in my own house. She let out her breath. I loves Harpo, she say. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me."

I finished it last week but I needed time to circulate my thoughts and come to a conclusion of what I think about the book because I enjoyed it more than I expected.

This book is all about sisterhood and strong female characters surviving misogyny than anything else. It was heartbreaking, emotional but also uplifting. I am still not even sure if I can write a proper review about it. It was so powerful and raw that I have so much left in me to write them in words. It was all emotions and thoughts of oppressive community trying their best to survive through everyone who are constantly putting them down.

I loved how the protagonist, Celie's character was portrayed. Omg!! She has so much love in her that NOTHING not even recurring physical and mental abuse could stop her from what she believed in and what she wanted to become. I immensely loved the character of Shug. She was the pillar of strength to Celie. In fact, she was everything to Celie and nothing could change her love on Shug, not even a bit. That's the power of true love.

This book was nothing I expected of it. It was so much more. and it has to be read by everyone. it has a very important note and message to it to take home. I can't recommend it enough. Just read it if you haven't already.
