Reviews

Wonderful... A triumph
*New York Times*

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*

Deeply perceptive...Returns risk and mischief to the contemporary American novel
*New York Times Book Review*

Toni Morrison's writing is a train that knows where it's going, fierce and fast-moving in narrative, lyrically showy in description
*Sunday Times*

Toni Morrison has made herself into the D. H. Lawrence of the black psyche, transforming individuals into forces, idiosyncrasy into inevitability
