I read this one last year for the first time and was surprised at how good it was! The timelines were odd but didn’t bother me once I got used to them.

This book has moved up on my reading list because of the BBC interview with Alice Walker that I heard recently. It was amazing to find out what she did to write this book and what happened in her life after she wrote it. Thanks for a great review!

I myself read this for the first time last year and loved it. It was certainly moving! Glad you loved it too!

I read this way back when in highschool and totally enjoyed it. It was one of those books they made us read, and I was convinced it would suck, but obviously it didn’t. Another one I should re-read. Glad you enjoyed it and finally read it. Great review.

I didn’t know this book was told through letters. Interesting!

I loved this book as well. In fact, I was just thinking recently that I should read more stuff by Alice Walker.

This book packs a lot of punch! I am always really into epistolary novels, so the format was an added bonus.

I have never read this book, but have seen the movie, and cried and cried over it. I think it would be interesting to read the book and get an idea of how the two are similar and different. I am glad that you enjoyed this book so much, and I think you wrote a wonderful review on it. Thanks for sharing it!

I envy you getting to experience this book for the first time! I read it years ago and it blew me away. Have you seen the movie? It’s great too.
