I don't have the vocabulary to express how I felt reading this novel. No words were wasted at all, and I actually wish some storylines

but i just left this book feeling sad. it was interesting to read about bride and booker's relationship and see how that turned out. bride was definitely a character that kept my attention.

and outstanding novel about childhood trauma and how it affects people through adulthood. upsetting, sad, while still hopeful & wonderful. this was my first Toni Morrison and it will absolutely not be the last.
