This is my all-time favorite book. This book is for you if you love psychological horror/thrillers and challenging reading. Learning to read Morrison's narration is difficult but incredibly rewarding once mastered. This is a book that will truly make you understand the horror of slavery and its long-lasting effects on its victims. Pretty much every content warning imaginable is described in great detail, so be cautious if you are vulnerable to being affected by certain events.

wornpagesandendlesscoffey's review

While I am absolutely certain that this book is phenomenal, it is not one that I was able to get through unfortunately. I was aware going in that child loss was a theme, but I was wholly unprepared for the way that that seem would play out within pages of this book. I will absolutely try another of this authors books at a later date.
