"A little black girl yearns for the blue eyes of a little white girl, and the horror at the heart of her yearning is exceeded only by the evil of fulfilment"
The way we see the world is brought into question by Morrison - how a child sees her life, and how the colour of her eyes can change the beauty she sees in it.

Morrison’s words are pure poetry. The issues she discusses in this novel are still relevant today. Not just horrifying, but horrifyingly true.
Everyone should read this book.
