Reading Sula as a collective felt like holding sacred text. Morrison’s exploration of Black womanhood, friendship, grief, and rebellion led us into deep discussion about what it means to be “good” versus “free.” The writing is sharp and poetic, and every reread reveals something new. For many of us, Sula didn’t just challenge us — it affirmed us.

This story is a hearty soup... That's a good thing. I'm ready for a salad though.
