Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison's "Beloved" is a
spellbinding and dazzlingly innovative portrait of a woman haunted
by the past.
Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years
later she is still not free. She has borne the unthinkable and not
gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of Sweet Home,
the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Meanwhile
Sethe's house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive
ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is
engraved with a single word: "Beloved."
Sethe works at beating back the past, but it makes itself heard
and felt incessantly in her memory and in the lives of those around
her. When a mysterious teenage girl arrives, calling herself
Beloved, Sethe's terrible secret explodes into the present.
Combining the visionary power of legend with the unassailable
truth of history, Morrison's unforgettable novel is one of the
great and enduring works of American literature.
