I have been a reader since I first learned the skill, eventually swapping picture books for novels and poetry collections. While reading has exposed me to the beauty of stories many times before, never in my life has my perception of literature been completely transformed by a book. However, Beloved did just that.
Morrison crafted an incredibly complex and stunning book, brimming with figurative elements and raw emotion.
I am forever greatful for reading the genius of Toni Morrison and cannot wait to continue on with the rest of her work.
This is a new all time favorite.
*PLEASE CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS! This is a very heavy and dark read.
