It's a good story, but the elaborate descriptions in Part 2 got on my nerves.
Une très belle plume, une histoire belle et sans compromis ni filtre mais je peux pas expliquer vraiment pourquoi je n'ai pas accroché.
My first Toni Morrison and I really enjoyed myself. I can't wait to read more of her work.
(lu en français)
j'aime j'aimej'aime ... « ce “tous ce qu'elles veulent” mec, c'est leur propre souffrance. demande-leur de mourir pour toi et elles sont à toi pour la vie. »
My first foray into reading Toni Morrison; this is a wild scream of a book. Intellectual and casual prose, mingled with character development and relationships and madness, mingled with the real-time decay of an ages-old friendship. It was like watching a karma wheel go around and around, and the ending was satisfying in a strange way. It has definitely piqued my interest into reading more of Toni Morrison's books. More deep-dives into the inner workings of what makes a soul? Please. With this splash of magical realism and that suspension of disbelief, there really wasn't a single disinteresting part to me.
