About the book

The second novel written by Alice Walker, preceding The Color Purple is a heartfelt and moving story about one woman's personal revolution as she joins the Civil Rights Movement. Set in the American South in the 1960s it follows Meridian Hill, a courageous young woman who dedicates herself heart and soul to her civil rights work, touching the lives of those around her even as her own health begins to deteriorate. Hers is a lonely battle, but it is one she will not abandon, whatever the costs. This is classic Alice Walker, beautifully written, intense and passionate.

    Die Lebensgeschichte der Afroamerikanerin Meridian Hill, die sich zu Gänze für das Recht der Schwarzen einsetzt in den 60er Jahren. Für mich leider super verwirrend geschrieben, wenn auch die Sätze an sich gut sind. Aber es springt mir zu sehr in den Zeiten umher und manchmal lässt sich nicht schnell genug erkennen, um wen es gerade geht. Dennoch ein interessanter Einblick in die damalige Zeit des Rassismus.
