Very moving story that delves deep into its characters’ psyches and how they are shaped based on the tumultuous events surrounding our nation’s transformation from a slave-owning society to a free one. The story is constructed in a way as to jump around in time, a method which makes it confusing at times. The nature of the characters also adds to the complexity of the storyline. The prose is very beautiful and, as this is read by the Toni Morrison herself, imbued with the same passion one imagines she felt when writing it.
