This is one of the best books I have ever read, and reread, and reread. Every time I read it I love it more. Morrison's language is rich, her images vibrant, and her story intriguing. The last paragraphs of this book rank in my top five best endings ever.
The ending was beautiful once Macon realized who he was and where he came from. I've read that this was Morrison's work with male characters, but I felt like the women in the family had plenty of storylines and depth and purpose too.
I just read it for the third time and it is still one of my favorites.
my favourite Toni Morrison by far. A beautiful mystery about the freedom of knowing your people
Very interesting to learn about black people in the early 1900s. This book dealt with various topics that I was not familiar with but also topics that any one can relate to. The writing style was difficult at times for me.
