This book is very intense, let me warn you. If you are interested in slave culture, this book is absolutely fascinating. The writing and word imagery is GORGEOUS. Toni Morrison is truly one of the most talented female authors of this century.
This book is the Pulitzer Prize winning story of a former slave, who has escaped with her daughters to freedom, and is trying to start a new life. She is constantly haunted by "Beloved," a daughter who was murdered years before. She believes her daughter's spirit comes back into her life in the form of a woman, who mysteriously appears one day and becomes an intricate part of their lives. There are interesting twists and revelations throughout the book, as the author explores the relationships between men and women, women and their daughters, and even life and death.
This book is PG-13 for more adult themes, and some sensuality.
