Morrison Toni

Opis

Sweetness wants to love her child, Bride, but she struggles to love her as a mother should. Bride, now glamorous, grown up, ebony-black and panther-like, wants to love her man, Booker, but she finds herself betrayed by a moment in her past, a moment borne of a desperate burn for the love of her mother.

Recenzje

It is so beautifully written, full of perfect sentences...with such profound understanding of sympathy for her damaged characters... This is a wise, humane, enriching novel. If it should prove to be Toni Morrison's last, it is quite a finale Allan Massie Scotsman
