This was my first Novel by Toni Morrison. And wow, it was pretty amazing. I've been meaning to read her for a long time, but I was saving her for a moment when I could handle a hard story, because that's just sort of what her stories are like. I found the tumbling narrative sucked me in, and though it was confusing at times to sus out who was talking, I didn't mind. Her writing is magnificent, so many lines or turns of phrase or ways of describing things made me pause and turn back to read them again. I have surely not seen everything there is to see here, and will read it again I'm sure.
