Song of Solomon
by Toni Morrison
It's been awhile since I've read something by Toni Morrison and I love most of what I've read by her. I'd previously read [b:Beloved|6149|Beloved|Toni Morrison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347984578l/6149._SY75_.jpg|736076] , [b:The Bluest Eye|11337|The Bluest Eye|Toni Morrison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388208495l/11337._SX50_.jpg|1987778], [b:Sula|11346|Sula|Toni Morrison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441578153l/11346._SY75_.jpg|3207953], and [b:Home|13152998|Home|Toni Morrison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1333576666l/13152998._SX50_.jpg|18153294]. I was excited when I saw that one of the Reading Women 2020 Challenge tasks was to read a book by Toni Morrison. I picked Song of Solomon in part because (according to goodreads) it is the most popular Morrison book that I hadn't read yet.
This had everything I loved about Morrison: lyrical prose, magical realism, deep family connections, strong characters. The central character in this book is Milkman Dead. He travels from the city where he lives to the small town where his family traces their roots to. Throughout his journey and the course of the book we meet members of his family and others. Excellent story telling as usual from Morrison.
