Very different from The Colour Purple, with the most prominent differences being there are a lot more characters perspectives in this book.
Frankly despite the clear differences between perspectives, the whole book was still confusing as hell, even now I’m not sure if it was chronological or not. It’s was well written I’ll give it that, Alice Walker is still a good writer, but this definitely wasn’t my cup of tea.
To be honest I’m not really looking forward to the next book in the series, but as I loved The Colour Purple so much I’ll probably read it anyway.
