Wow, just wow. This was an outstanding read!
I’ve never read a story that had a protagonist and antagonist relationship like this. This story is about a 26-year-old African American woman from 1976. Although she doesn’t know why, she suddenly finds herself transported to 1815 and into antebellum Maryland. After saving a white boy from drowning, and almost getting killed herself, she’s transported back to 1976. This continues to happen until she finally realizes that she and the boy have a connection. She has to protect this young slaveholder until he can father her great-grandmother.
Whoa, talk about a plot. There were so many times that I wanted her to unalive his ass, or anybody’s ass, but we both understood the assignment. She had to finish the mission. Loved this book. My first Octavia Butler book, and as I recently found out, the first science-fiction book written by a Black woman.
I thought the ending could have been longer. One second I was in it, and the next, it was over. And to be completely honest, I wasn’t ready to leave just yet.
I immersed read this one. It was a great experience, and I will never forget these characters. I heard there was a Hulu show or movie. I may have to check it out.

This book was incredible. I read this book for two reasons. 1. It was my mother’s favorite book (Rest in Peace) and two, I’m a fan of the movie. However, I did not expect what this book offered. This was so much better than the movie. I immersed read with both the physical and audiobook (which I recommend).
This book is told mostly through the letters of the main character, Celie. The Color Purple is about an African American woman living in the early 1900s in the South. She suffered abuse in silence, but ended up reclaiming her voice through healing, love, and self-liberation. It’s about how she bonded with other strong women like her sister Nettie and Shug Avery.
The Color Purple is raw and powerful. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend it. What a beautiful book!
