I had a little bit of a hard time getting into this book and recognizing how the story was being told, but once I did I started to really appreciate what I was reading.
This book is really heavy and, I think, does a great job at showing the mental and physical repercussions of something like slavery on a people.
I really liked how the POVs would change and I definitely liked when we saw the world through Beloveds eyes. The way Toni Morrison wove the timelines/perspectives together, adding more context to important moments, really added a lot of weight as well.
