God Help the Child

Wish I could say I loved this book, since Toni Morrison is one of my absolute favorite authors of all time, but I just didn't. I didn't like the main character and didn't understand the prominence some of the secondary characters played in various sections of the book. While her books generally have an element of fantasy that you allow yourself to believe, it felt like it was thrown into this one as part of a formula that didn't work.

And all that said, there were of course the usual passages of brilliance. Glad to hear she intends to write at least one more, because I think this one needs some redemption.
