Beloved by Toni Morrison
5.0

“He leans over and takes her hand. With the other he touches her face. ‘You your best thing, Sethe. You are.’ His holding fingers are holding hers. ‘Me? Me?’”

This book moved my soul — what an eloquent and beautiful novel on grief and trauma, specifically through the lens of black personhood, how to come to terms with that. Every character was incredibly well rounded and the narrative (though a little dense and difficult to get through at times) was expertly woven to take the readers along an harrowing and heart-touching journey. I feel incredibly grateful to have read this novel and I intend reading much more of Morrison’s work.
