Published in 1970.
Morrison's command over the English language is exquisite. The novel was an absolute pleasure to read, a veritable masterpiece. Another book written from the eyes of children, it examined racism, both self-inflicted and otherwise, that blacks were a victim of in the America of the 70s. Careful thought and deep feeling is apparent in the construction of every phrase of that book. It put me in awe of Toni Morrison.
