Beloved by Toni Morrison

Beloved by Toni Morrison

INCLUDES A READING GUIDE

Terrible, unspeakable things happened to Sethe at Sweet Home, the farm where she lived as a slave for so many years until she escaped to Ohio. Her new life is full of hope but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe's new home is not only haunted by the memories of her past but also by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.

**One of the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

'Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours.. Beloved is a heartbreaking testimony to the ongoing ravages of slavery, and should be read by all'

‘I adored her honesty. I admired the way she occupied her space in the world. I believed her’
‘[Toni Morrison] led and we followed, and she showed us the beauty of the language, and the power that was unleashed when that beauty was allied to a great heart and a ferocious mind’
‘No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart’
‘Toni Morrison is the greatest chronicler of the American experience that we have ever known’
