from the foreword by toni “people tell me that i’m always writing about love. always, always love. i nod yes, but this isn’t true - not exactly. in fact, i’m always writing about betrayal. love is the weather. betrayal is the lightning that cleaves and reveals it.”
like in Sula and beloved, at the center of this story is girls whose bond - once pure and loving, becomes poisoned by betrayal, and misunderstandings and the interference of men. i really hated how that old man destroyed christine and heed but wow what a beautiful conversation at the end 😭
