Trade Review
Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to explaining her * Guardian *
A beautiful and important book * The Times *
Powerful, elemental... The issues Morrison explores go to the root of what humanity is. They could not be more important * Guardian *
Left me trembling at the sheer brilliance of its storytelling and the unassailable dignity of its purpose * Evening Standard *
So enthralling that you'll want to read it more than once * Sunday Times *
