Desdemona by Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison's retelling of the story of Desdemona from Shakespeare's Othello: a safe space in which the dead can finally speak those things that could not be spoken when they were alive. The women inside Shakespeare's play find their voices: Othello's mother and Desdemona's mother meet, and hidden histories are shared and begin to flow.
