“A classic novel of both feminism and the Civil Rights movement.” —Ms. Magazine
“My life suddenly made sense when I encountered Alice Walker’s fiction.” –Tayari Jones
Meridian Hill, a dedicated and courageous young activist in the 1960s, works to create peace and understanding through her civil rights work, touching the lives of all those she meets even when her health begins to deteriorate. With the old rules of Southern society collapsing around her, her coworkers quitting and moving to comfortable homes and lives, and others turning to more violent means of achieving change, Meridian fights a lonely battle to reaffirm her own humanity–and that of all her people.
