Morrison's characters are intoxicatingly vibrant and intriguing, making their brutal and bitter realities even more heartbreaking. In the bottom, hope feels as though it is an impossibility. This is reflected tremendously in Morrison's writing style, which makes the book seem almost frozen in the past, as if the future is unconnected, or at the very least, a thing of little hope. However, Morrison's true talent shines through the friendship of Sula and Nel. Morrison perfectly depicts the opposing yet complementary friends: Sula and Nel. Each is a natural at what the other struggles with, primarily due to their opposite tendencies: defiance and conformity. The joys, heartbreak, and bitterness of this lifelong friendship display how interwoven and complex the lives of those with such close bonds truly are.
I rember this book being a little sad but it has really great perspective that I enjoyed. It is a good read if you want a story that is real and raw.
