Absolutely breathtaking. A fantastically written story surrounding the act and aftermaths of slavery and the lingering ripples of struggle and death. Very uniquely human with gorgeous text. Only "critique" is that I personally found it to be dense at points, in true Morrison fashion (but that's just a personal preference, I have the attention span of a gnat). Incredible novel, will definitely be reading again.
