Even though I thoroughly enjoyed reading "...Grange Copeland," I felt it was another version of "The Color Purple" minus the lesbian story-line. The male characters are harsh (much more so than the male characters in "The Color Purple") and relentless, but as in "The Color Purple" Ms. Walker tries to make the reader feel that they do have a "human" side. The female characters are strong-willed...as most of the female characters in "...Purple" were. What I enjoy most about Ms. Walker is she makes the reader feel so much a part of each character's life. The ending is somewhat a disappointment, i.e., comes too fast and too abrupt.

I enjoyed reading The Third Life of Grange Copeland because it left me, at the end of each chapter, wanting to know what would happen next. This novel was easy to read and understand. I recommend it to any age group from middle school or higher.
