Facing the abyss of slavery fearlessly, this classic novel transforms History into a narrative as imposing as an epic, as violent as a battle song, and as tender as a lullaby. Sithe was born a slave in the South and escaped to Ohio, yet eighteen years later she is still not free. She is haunted by painful memories of the Welcoming Home, the beautiful farm that became for her and her companions the place of absolute horror.
Her new home is haunted by the ghost of her nameless baby, who died by her own hands, with only one word engraved on its gravestone, reminding that once it lived: Beloved. Poetic and brutal, stretched like a rope, the novel explores the indelible trauma of slavery in a way that captivates the reader. One of the most significant books by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, the boldest female voice in American prose.
They said about the book: Beloved is Toni Morrison's fifth novel – yet another triumph. Morrison’s multifaceted technical skill and emotional depth know no bounds. Margaret Atwood
