Summary: An Incredible Book
Comment: I purchased my version of Temple of My Familiar when I was working in Frankfurt, Germany. I didn't speak the language and stumbled across a kiosk in the center of the city that sold a few books in English and this was one of them. Not having read any Walker before, but knowing her reputation as a wonderful writer, I purchased the book and devoured it in one sitting. At first hungry for English, I realized I was savoring a masterpiece. Walker deftly intertwines the lives (and past lives) of numerous characters from the US, England, and Africa and gives incredible perspectives of many different perspectives of the native/colonial African experience as well as the experience of men and women in the racially divided US. I ended up rereading the book numerous times while in Europe and I periodically find myself rereading it every few months. Each character is on a personal journey to find themselves and honesty and caring for others is a key component to their discovery. A great message and a skillfully written book.

Summary: YES
Comment: there is so much that can be said about this book that one little paragraph will never do it justice. Alice Walker, like always, surprises me with her words. i read temple at during a period in my life where is was appaled by the contradictions in our society. I completely fell in love with Fanny and Miss Lissie. They reflected both sides of my thought. Their journeys were a map. Facinating people. It's as though they were almost the same character in different levels of their experience. It's alright to be confused, angry, but instead of demeaning others for that power, discover the power of memory and spirit within. read The Gospel According to Shug. Alice Walker says Yes. not once, but many times. Like Fanny.
