Beloved: Pulitzer Prize Winner
Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She 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. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

Personally, I was not a fan of this book at all because I was confused majority of the time reading it. The transitions from the present to the past and between different characters didn't allow for a clear reader experience. The language and beautifully drawn out era and locations lend some credit to how good of an author Morrison can be. I will not discredit her but because of how this book came together as a whole It was difficult to enjoy.
8/10!! Toni Morrison's "Beloved" is an extraordinary read. Her masterful writing immerses readers deeply into the novel's complex themes, creating a powerful experience. Morrison’s storytelling invites us to explore the haunting legacy of slavery with both empathy and insight. A compelling and thought-provoking work that lingers long after the final page.
