«The Temple of My Familiar» is Alice Walker's magic realist novel, published by The Women's Press Ltd in hardback (448 pages, in English).
The novel interweaves the stories of Lissie, Arveyda, Suwelo and Fanny with ancestral memory, displacement and identity. Past and present coexist in a narrative that also gives voice to displaced people; Miss Celie and Shug, already known from «El color púrpura», reappear in it.
The novel, published in 1989, is the second instalment of Alice Walker's The Color Purple series, following «El color púrpura».
«The Temple of My Familiar» is suitable for readers of literary fiction interested in African heritage and women's stories.
