Honestly, I picked up this book as a freebie with the intent of passing it along to another bookcrosser. I mail books to people through Nervousness (http://www.nervousness.org) and PostcardX (http://postcardx.net) and this will be sent to someone yet to be determined. :)

Released on Monday, June 09, 2003 at Mailed it. in Jacksonville, Florida USA.

Mailed to France for a swap. :)

Celie is a poor black woman whose letters tell the story of 20 years of her life, beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her marriage to "Mister," a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that her abusive husband has been keeping her sister's letters from her and the rage she feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.


Thank you so mich for this book, i received it quite a while ago, and i have read it since.
It is a fabulous book, i'd wanted to read it for such a long time.
Sorry for the delay, my moving to France didn't leave much time for me to spend on the net.

I bought this book a couple of years ago and I forgot about it and I bought it again this year and finally I had time to read it. It's a heartbreaking story of a young woman who reminded me on Precious by Sapphire.
I will give it as a gift to a friend in Hungary.
