first person POV, the words used in the novel were I, Me, She, We when refering to the speaker
This novel could only take place during the 1900's as in any other time period celie would have either less or more rights than this point in time.
As this is not an exact true story but still takes place in the past in an accurate description of a specific historical period that makes it a historical fiction novel.
I love the book, and the movie it really makes you appreciate your life and the plot was very satisfying all the way to the end
