Beloved

Woah. This one is going to stay with me for a long time.

BELOVED is the first book of Toni Morrison's that I've read. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by the author. Listening to her words transported me into Sethe's life. This narrative about the heartbreaking brutality of slavery and the universal love of a parent was gut wrenching.

The poetic prose of the multiple perspective storytelling revealed the haunting layers of this deeply powerful novel.

A story that everyone should read.
