Productdetails

‘Not a word is wasted, every breath accounted for. We all know that this is one of the greatest books of all time’
  1. Benjamin Zephaniah
The Color Purple is one of the great novels of the 20th century, exploring the extremes of human nature through the eyes of a young African American woman in 1930s Georgia.  Deemed controversial on publication for its explicit portrayal of abuse – it was banned in American school libraries until 2013 – The Color Purple is an important and beautifully imagined novel that will deeply affect and enrich everyone who reads it. This much-anticipated Folio edition celebrates the cultural significance of Alice Walker’s novel with a cover designed by artist Lela Harris and inspired by the renowned quiltmakers of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, a collective of female artisans. Inside, Harris’s emotive charcoal illustrations capture the vulnerability of the characters, while Walker’s note on revisiting the novel decades after publication reiterates its importance as a record of ‘vanished voices’. Runner-up of the Book Cover category at the V&A Illustration Awards 2022.

Beautiful book! My wife wanted a copy of The Color Purple for Christmas so I looked around quite extensively before finding The Folio Society's version. It is by far the most lovingly crafted copy I could find and the price is more than justified. She hasn't opened it yet but I am completely confident she is going to love it.

This is a gorgeous book. I love the choice to focus on portraiture throughout the book, because this story is so often about the faces that the characters see contrasted with those that are absent.

This is the first book I purchased from Folio and I am very impressed. The book sleeve is a gorgeous piece of art. I’ve already purchased a second book and plan on purchasing more in the future for sure.
