... ignorance, in that I haven't actually read The Color Purple. Given that this book pulls on some of the characters in that work, I did feel at a bit of a disadvantage. However, as it does not purport to be a sequel, but rather just elaborates on the history of other characters, I don't think it is essential to have read the books in any particular order.
This book is written from a number of different points of view, and it switches very quickly, within a few pages. At first, this makes the book very confusing, as it is...more
