Alice wrote this book in 1982 & received the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction. This book was very controversial especially in the Black community., because it explored many themes folks didn’t want to talk about (rape, incest, abuse, male domination, sexual orientation, blended families, etc). However, it also showed the strength, power & resilience of the Black woman. Since then I have bought all & read most of Alice Walker’s works! I love her energy, spirit & voice!
