"So when they met, first in those chocolate halls and next through the ropes of the swing, they felt the ease and comfort of old friends. Because each had discovered years before that they were neither white nor male, and that all freedom and triumph was forbidden to them, they had set about creating something else to be."

There isn't much for me to say that hasn't been said 100 times over. Toni Morrison is considered the great American writer for a reason. Sula is honest and gritty and uncompromising, and so, so vivid. I loved it and I think I'm a better person for having read it.
