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.
