“My uncle gave this book to me for my seventeenth birthday. I fell in love with Morrison's story telliing with this book, and thirteen years later I am still reading her work.”
“this book was such a letdown from her first tier books that i failed to find any redeeming value, maybe i should go back and reread the end, but as i recall, i found it ended silly to my mind. give me song of solomon, sula, paradise and tar baby!”
“The ending is exactly what makes this book! If it weren't for the ending you could believe that the husband and wife were always wrong for each other, that they were deceitful and hurtful and hated each other and that there was never any hope for them. It was the ending that made the entire book come together. It showed that there once was hope for these two, that they once loved and took care of one another, that there was once, even for just a moment, just one tiny act of tenderness, a kind of beauty in their lives.”
