Reading progress update: I've read 313 out of 416 pages.

Gotten a bit farther in this. Love it. Love Alice Walker's talk about relationships(or relationship conventions), love, sexuality, race and et. al. I could go on and on the topics she brings up in this book. This just feels truly expansive on the characters she created and made in The Color Purple. I feel like this really is one of those books that does kind of show the generational gap within families while the members of that family are still facing the same issues. Basically, her characters have their own voices, goals, how they like their romantic relationships, how they don't, parental relationships, they are truly individual. And she was able to have the characters from The Color Purple keep their voices while creating new ones for the characters that either weren't expanded upon or are completely new to the "series".
The characters are honest in they wanted in a way, basically it's plainly stated eventually. And I like that. Really enjoying this. Can't wait to finish it. Wish I had some more time to sit down and read some more of it.
