Extravagantly beautiful... Enormously, achingly alive... A howl of
love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter
*New York Times*
Morrison explores the mythic power of femininity in a poor and
isolated rural black community where women rule as mothers,
warriors, witches and story-tellers... One of the most compelling
writers at work today

Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a
divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to
explaining her
*Guardian*
