Publisher Description
"A classic novel of both feminism and the Civil Rights movement" in 1960s Atlanta by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple (Ms.).
As she approaches the end of her teen years, Meridian Hill has already married, divorced, and given birth to a son. She's looking for a second chance, and at a small college outside Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1960s, Meridian discovers the civil rights movement. So fully does the cause guide her life that she's willing to sacrifice virtually anything to help transform the conditions of a people whose subjugation she shares.
Meridian draws from Walker's own experiences working alongside some of the heroes of the civil rights movement, and the novel stands as a shrewd and affecting document of the dissolution of the Jim Crow South.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

Alice the goat
The only book I’ve read by Alice Walker outside of Meridian is of course The Color Purple. Considering this is a coming of age story of sorts, and considering the brief length of the novel, she is masterful as usual. I feel Meridian’s emotional growth even as she never abandons ambivalence. 10/10 recommend
