Léanla. 
Desgarradora, melancólica, un bofetón de crudeza, pero no pierde la dulzura, aunque no necesariamente para bien. Hay dulzura porque la protagonista es una niña y la narradora, también, pero la vida de Pecola, particularmente, no tiene nada de dulce… es una pena constante ❤️‍🩹

Esta edición tiene un prólogo y epílogo con un desmenuce de las primeras páginas del libro de la misma Toni Morrison, donde explica las decisiones narrativas que tomó, con las que quedó satisfecha y con las que no. Es como una ventanita a su mente y 🤩 
Realmente, una genia. Libro increíble 💯
