The Color Purple

Set in the American deep South between the wars, The Colour Purple is the story of Celie, a young black girl born into poverty and segregation. Repeatedly abused by the man she calls “father”, Celie gives birth to two children who are taken away from her, is separated from her beloved sister Nettie, and is trapped into an ugly marriage. Life begins to change when she meets glamorous singer and magic maker Shug Avery, a woman who’s firmly in charge of her own destiny. As Celie discovers the power and joy of her own spirit, she gradually frees herself from the past and reunites with those she loves.
