Black History Month - Day 11 Book Recommendation: Beloved by Toni Morrison

This book won Morrison the Pulitzer Prize in 1987 and exposes the unthinkable horrors of slavery in a comprehensible, moving literary form. The book focuses on a woman, her family and the spirit of her nameless child. It is painful, heart-wrenching, magnificent & powerful. The language is beautifully written & the stories are poignantly expressed.  It will move you, push your thinking & expand your understanding of what a mother or a people can do and survive under inhuman conditions. This book should be on every “classic” book list and should be required reading in High School or Freshman college English courses. It is a profound story that solidified Toni Morrison’s place as one of the greatest novelists of  all times.
