Beloved | Toni Morrison

I didn’t read Beloved; I was engulfed by it.

I’ve found it impossible to put any words together meaningfully about it after I emerged. It’s so immense, so visceral, so dark, so complex; where would you even start?

An incomparable book by an incomparable author. Nothing more I can say.
