520 After Paul D. finds his old slave friend Sethe in Ohio and
moves in with her and her daughter Denver, a strange girl
comes along by the name of "Beloved." Sethe and Denver
take her in and then strange things begin to happen. Set
in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, this
profoundly affecting chronicle of slavery and its
aftermath is Toni Morrison's greatest novel, a dazzling
achievement, and the most spellbinding reading experience
of the decade. A brutally powerful, mesmerizing story ...
read it and tremble. At the center of Toni Morrison's
fifth novel, which earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for
fiction, is an almost unspeakable act of horror and
heroism: a woman brutally kills her infant daughter rather
than allow her to be enslaved. The woman is Sethe, and the
novel traces her journey from slavery to freedom during
and immediately following the Civil War. Woven into this
circular, mesmerizing narrative are the horrible truths of
Sethe's past: the incredible cruelties she endured as a
slave, and the hardships she suffered in her journey north
to freedom. Just as Sethe finds the past too painful to
remember, and the future just "a matter of keeping the
past at bay," her story is almost too painful to read. Yet
Morrison manages to imbue the wreckage of her characters'
lives with compassion, humanity, and humor. Part ghost
story, part history lesson, part folk tale, Beloved finds
beauty in the unbearable, and lets us all see the enduring
promise of hope that lies in anyones future.
