5.0
A study in the fragmentation of the self when subjected to slavery, a polemic condemning the practice of slavery, a prose poem, myth making, as radical and heartbreaking as it is beautiful.
I listened to the audio book narrated by Toni Morrison herself, giving the story an added depth of emotion. I want to read the physical copy so I can highlight and mark it up in the places I loved.
A book everyone should read.
