Strange and surreal, this was a beautifully written novel exploring themes of family, personhood, love, identity, and a little bit of magical realism. The plot was a bit complicated for me at the start, and I was a bit confused for maybe the first third of the book, until we started to get more context and backstory. 

In retrospect, I wish I’d read a physical copy rather than listen to the audiobook, because although it was narrated by Toni Morrison herself, I think the physical format would have lent itself to an easier understanding of the plot, and an easier way to refer back to previous passages to reread or recontextualize something.
