Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by society and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women.

Dans la grande tradition du roman sudiste, "La Couleur pourpre", qui dénonce l'oppression raciale et sexuelle dont furent victimes les femmes noires, a fait date. Celie et Nettie sont deux sœurs séparées à l'adolescence mais liées par un amour indéfectible que ne terniront ni les brimades ni le mépris, ni les guerres ni l'absence. Celie, mariée enfant à un homme violent, ne reçoit pas les lettres que lui adresse Nettie, devenue missionnaire en Afrique, car son mari les subtilise.
