How old is Shug Avery?
When a 19-year-old admires her, she can’t help but take off with him, despite the fact that she’s thirty (or so) years older than he is. Shug will never stay in one place or with one person, but she’ll keep returning because she never discards the people she loves.

Does Shug sleep with Celie?
Shug and Celie’s relationship grows increasingly intimate, and Shug coaxes Celie to talk about sex for the first time. Celie’s words, not surprisingly, are dismal.
