Inoveli ephumelele amabhaso ka-Alice Walker yePulitzer Umbala oMfusa yenye yezona ncwadi zibalulekileyo kuludwe lwangoku lweMnyama eMelika. Ukujongana nokwenzakala ngokwesondo nangokweemvakalelo kwabasetyhini abaMnyama ngomlinganiswa ophambili, uCelie, kunye nabanye abafazi abaninzi ahlangana nabo ebomini bakhe, kubandakanya nalowo amthandayo, uShug Avery.
Kwinoveli, uCelie yintombazana elihlwempu eneminyaka elishumi elinesine ngo-1900 eGeorgia etshatele kwindoda endala ebizwa ngokuba nguMnumzana. U-Mister yindoda ekhohlakeleyo egxeka uCelie rhoqo, amphathe njengesicaka esenzelwe ukugcina indlu yakhe ikwimeko entle, kwaye simhlasele. Phakathi kwazo zonke ezo zinto zoyikisayo, uthumela udade kaCelie uNettie emveni kokuba enqabile inkqubela yakhe kwezesondo.
Njengoko uCelie ehamba ebomini, abafazi ababini bangena kwihlabathi lakhe kwaye bamfundisa indlela eyahlukileyo ngayo ubomi bakhe: uSofia noShug Avery. Ekuqaleni, uShug uphathwa njengamandla aphikisayo. Ubiza uCelie ngokungathandekiyo kwintlanganiso yabo yokuqala, kwaye uMphathiswa uyathandana naye kangangokuba kungabonakala ngathi kusekwe ukungavisisani phakathi kwaba bafazi babini. Nangona kunjalo, kuboniswa ngokukhawuleza ukuba bayakhathalelana. Bazibandakanya kubudlelwane bezesondo kwincwadi ethanjisiweyo kakhulu kwi-movie, kodwa kungcono ngakumbi ukulungelelanisa umculo.
Uthando phakathi kukaCelie kunye noShug lubuyisela uCelie. Kokokuqala ukuba abe neentlobano zesini ezinothando nezithandanayo. UShug ngomnye wabantu abona ngokwenene uCelie ngobuhle kunye nobukhulu anakho ukubenza, nangona ubudlelwane bukaShug noCelie bungalunganga. UShug uphantse waba likhoboka lothando kwaye ugqibela ngokuba nomyeni opheleleyo kunye nomthandi ngexesha elinye, ngelixa uqhubeka nobudlelwane obunomdla noCelie.
Nangona kunjalo, inqaku, ubuncinci kum, ayilo thando olungisa yonke into. Imalunga nokuva ukuba uthando lunokuba njani ngokwenene: ububele, uvelwano, uthando lokwenene olusuka komnye umntu luye komnye. Uninzi lubhale inoveli kaWalker njengamadoda alwa noMnyama, kodwa leyo yinto elula kakhulu. UWalker wayechwetheza kwinto ababhali ababhinqileyo abamnyama abayenzayo kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana, ejonga indlela yokonzakala kobukhoboka kunye nokudlulela kubuntu okugqithisileyo ukusuka kumadoda amnyama ukuya kubafazi nabantwana babo-indlela ejika ngayo abafazi babe zizinto kunye neemeyile zomhlaba njengoZora Neale Hurston yifake T indlalifa Amehlo Ebejonge KuThixo .
Umbala oMfusa uya ngaphaya kukaHurston ngokungayenzi indoda egqibeleleyo yomntu ophambili kuyo kodwa umnike ubuqabane bomnye umfazi ontsundu. UShug noCelie bobabini kuye kwafuneka bajongane nokulindelweyo sisizwe esithandwayo kwaye badlale ngaso ngeendlela zabo. Ngomnye nomnye, kukho uxolo kuloo nto. Ziye zibe yindawo ethembekileyo ekhuselekileyo yomnye komnye, kwaye ukuphela kwinoveli ziyinxalenye yosapho olungaqhelekanga, kodwa luphelele.
Uninzi lwale nto lwalungekho kumdlalo bhanyabhanya, ke ndingacebisa kakhulu ukuba ndikhangele incwadi kaWalker ukuze ndibuyise eli bali lommangaliso.
