A review by pearlpool
Beloved by Toni Morrison

4.0

read for class I LIKED THIS A LOT!! very important book. such haunting magical realism and a really interesting exploration of mother daughter relationships interacting with generational trauma. i would be tempted to argue that this is actually a horror novel (a HIGH honor imo)
