Beloved: Toni Morrison
Product Description
By Toni Morrison
Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • A spellbinding novel that transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword by the author.
Part of Amy Sherald's Reading List
Sherald is deeply engaged with literature. She often has chosen titles that quote or riff on lines of poetry and prose. Examples include Hope Is the Thing with Feathers (from Dickinson’s poem of the same title); Listen, you a wonder. You a city of a woman. You got a geography of your own (from Clifton’s poem “what the mirror said”); and There Is No Charm Equal to Tenderness of Heart (from Austen’s novel Emma).
