Beloved

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Beloved by Toni Morrison is a tale of brutality, depicting the life of Sethe – a liberated slave – after her emancipation, haunted by the barbarity she was a victim of. 

What George Says: “For the notion that a ghost might be a simpler being than he or she was in life, full of one, primal longing.”

What They Say: “Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours… Beloved is a heartbreaking testimony to the ongoing ravages of slavery, and should be read by all” – Margaret Atwood
