The Bluest Eye

An intense character study about the unravelling of the self for the sake of others. Morrison took this by the reins and forces you to stare different versions of corruption in the face. Not for the faint of heart; potentially triggering content in the latter one-third of the book. Speculative, intrinsic. In some places, it felt as though it was too slow and speculative, but these places paid off through how she wove all of the threads together. Beware of a non-too-happy ending, but sometimes, that's life.
