Jarrod’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Color Purple (The Color Purple Collection, #1)

The Color Purple (The Color Purple Collection, #1) by Alice Walker

1 note & 9 highlights

If it is true that it is what we run from that chases us, then The Color Purple (this color that is always a surprise but is everywhere in nature) is the book that ran me down while I sat with my back to it in a field.

“Bridey drags on her Woodbine, drinks her tea and declares that God is good. Mam says she's sure God is good for someone somewhere but He hasn't been seen lately in the lanes of Limerick.
Bridey laughs. Oh, Angela, you could go to hell for that, and Mam says, Aren't I there already, Bridey?”
