The Color Purple

“The Color Purple” is the only Pulitzer-winning novel to feature a lesbian protagonist and also be written by a woman. This is the story of two sisters--one a missionary in Africa and the other a child wife living in the South--who sustain their loyalty to and trust in each other across time, distance, and silence. Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this classic novel of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life.

But that's where asexual people are left out.
