“So precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”—The New York Times
In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.]]>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C116987https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C116987Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/116987980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307386588/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1231973https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1231973Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1231973113BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781400033430/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years • A modern masterpiece about love and kinship, about living in an America birthed from slavery.

“Extravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive.” —The New York Times

Sula and Nel are born in the Bottom—a small town at the top of a hill. Sula is wild, and daring; she does what she wants, while Nel is well-mannered, a mamma’s girl with a questioning heart. Growing up they forge a bond stronger than anything, stronger even than the dark secret they have to bear. Strong enough, it seems, to last a lifetime—until, decades later, as the girls become women, Sula’s anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond forgiveness.
