A review by kelleykamanda
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This book is truly breathtaking. With every read I enjoy it as if it was the first time. The symbolism, metaphors, characters, and overall themes are simply perfect. Just a beautifully written representation of oral history, the pain Black women face, the loss of self, etc etc. perfect
