About this Event
¨Set in the deep American South between the wars, The Color Purple is the classic tale of Celie, a young black girl born into poverty and segregation. R*ped repeatedly by the man she calls 'father', she has two children taken away from her, is separated from her beloved sister Nettie and is trapped into an ugly marriage. But then she meets the glamorous Shug Avery, singer and magic-maker - a woman who has taken charge of her own destiny. Gradually Celie discovers the power and joy of her own spirit, freeing her from her past and reuniting her with those she loves.

This group is an excellent opportunity to discover contemporary and historically significant queer literature. Do you have that list of must-read titles that everyone has been raving about, that you just haven’t gotten around to yet? We’re going to read them all! At each meeting you can discuss your thoughts with likeminded individuals in a safe, welcoming environment. Loved the book? Great! Hated it? Let’s get into why! Come to chat, meet new friends and connect with the community!
We meet on the last Thursday of every month!
