The Pulitzer Prize–winning author weaves a "glorious and iridescent" tapestry of interrelated lives in this New York Times bestseller (Library Journal). Includes a new letter written by the author In The Temple of My Familiar, Celie and Shug from The Color Purple subtly shadow the lives of dozens of characters, all dealing in some way with the legacy of the African experience in America. From recent African immigrants, to a woman who grew up in the mixed-race rainforest communities of South America, to Celie's own granddaughter living in modern-day San Francisco, all must come to understand the brutal stories of their ancestors to come to terms with their own troubled lives. The first African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for fiction with The Color Purple, which also won the National Book Award, Alice Walker continues her saga. As she follows these astonishing characters, she weaves a new mythology from old fables and history, a profoundly spiritual explanation for centuries of shared African American experience. "Moving . . . A story of ordinary life and everyday emotions." —Los Angeles Times "Part novel, part visionary history, part revolutionary tract, this book will at turns delight, shock, frustrate, and inspire Walker fans." —USA Today This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
