I think this is an ELA must read (so much more relevant to Americans than ... all of Shakespeare). Baby Suggs was my favorite character ... I might go looking for fan fiction. It's an honest look at what slavery, colonialism, and segregation perpetrated. Toni Morrison did an excellent job of incorporating mystery and slowly revealing what brought the characters to 124 and to the actions they took there.
