“Death always smiled. And breathed. And looked helpless like a shinbone, or a tiny speck of black on the Queen Elizabeth roses, or film on the eye of a dead goldfish.”

“Fear lay like a pair of crossed paws on his chest.”

Eigentlich eher 3,5 Sterne, aber für mich kein 4-Sterne-Buch. Aber ich denke, das war nicht mein letztes Buch von Toni Morrison. Ich muss mir nur überlegen, ob ich dann nicht doch lieber im Original lese, als mir nochmal Namen wie Gitarre und störende Elemente wie die im Deutschen nur schlecht funktionierenden Wortspiele mit dem Familiennamen Dead anzutun. Aber diese "Knubbel" will ich natürlich nicht der Übersetzung ankreiden, denn hier kann man wohl keine perfekte Lösung finden.

I had to read this for school, and i though the book was super interesting but sometimes a bit overwritten. i loved the metaphors and connections throughout the book, but i didn’t like the incest part
