If she looked different, beautiful, maybe Cholly would be different, and Mrs. Breedlove too. Maybe they’d say, “Why, look at pretty-eyed Pecola. We mustn’t do bad things in front of those pretty eyes.”
this quote is from the beginning of the book but carries so much more meaning once you finish the book. this book is so incredibly devastating & such a heartbreaking but eye-opening recount of colorism & internalized racism in the black community. i found the novel quite hard to follow for most of the book, so i think this book would best be read in a group setting with discussion. i really had to take my time with this read cos the material is just so emotionally heavy & the writing is kind of dense. but definitely an excellent read
