But unlike her first collection of stories the women in these tenderly wrought tales face their problems head on proving powerful and self-possessed even when degraded by otherssometimes by those closest to them. But even as the female protagonists face exploitation social asymmetries and casual cruelties Walker leavens her stories with ample wit and as always an eye for the redemptive power of love. A collection that reveals a master of fiction approaching the fullness of her talent these are the stories Walker produced while penning The Color Purple.
