Özet
One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years • A modern masterpiece about love and kinship, about living in an America birthed from slavery. Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison gives life to characters who struggle with what society tells them to be, and the love they long for and crave as Black women. • With a new introduction by Jesmyn Ward.

“Extravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive.” —The New York Times

Sula and Nel are born in the Bottom—a small town at the top of a hill. Sula is wild, and daring; she does what she wants, while Nel is well-mannered, a mamma’s girl with a questioning heart. Growing up they forge a bond stronger than anything, stronger even than the dark secret they have to bear. Strong enough, it seems, to last a lifetime—until, decades later, as the girls become women, Sula’s anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond forgiveness.

It was great to rediscover this book I read over 30 years ago. Morrison’s ability to write about violent and devastating events that creep up on you so surprisingly never fails to amaze me. Can’t wait to listen to some more. Some odd edits where she repeats a few lines twice need editing
out in the recording but absolutely wonderful to hear her read it what a brilliant woman

Extraordinary writing

Fascinating and full of the oddest and loneliest characters - they remind me of people I've met. Toni Morrison has captured the turbulence and absurdities of people's lives, their joy, love and playfulness, as well as their hidden depths and the darker facets of their souls. This book is not easy reading/ listening, but it makes you sit up and take note. The book has a lonesome feel, but also a warmth.
