“By Morrison's standards, a slight work. For most of the book Morrison's prose runs on auto-pilot and the plot seems contrived. The novel really gets interesting only around page 150, then 20 pages later, it ends. ”

“Glorious. Not since Faulkner has prose been so pristinely beautiful, so mercilessly gentle, so Old Testament like in the starkness and weight of its sorrow. Every page of this book is at once an act of glory and an act of grace, of language at its most exquisite, aching with what remains unspoken. It's a book that deserves not so much to be read, as to be contemplated, meditated on.”
