this is my first toni morrison book and my god this was amazing. forever will be embedded within me and will be one of my go-to re-reads. toni morrison's writing was so captivating and grounded, and it's one of the classics that stood the test of time.
the story is about a woman who had gone through the trenches of life. it's narrative gives you a full view of the horrors of slavery, misogyny, and the complex relationships of the characters. to also read about the mental strains of the characters had due their past that kept haunting them was incredibly heart wrenching that you can't help but sympathize with them even if their actions were so appalling, you couldn't fault them at all.
i couldnt put this book down, even when i was in the office. it's worth to mention to that the ending gave me actual nightmare, it did shock me a bit. such a fantastic book, im looking forward to read more of toni morrison's works!

personal note:
my partner got so scared when i described him the ending, given that we're living together now, he had an earful of the story too every night and that TOO disturbed him. fun times.
