Yulani- Morrison is one of those greats whose words I will never tire of rediscovering. When I’m worn out, her words—in wearing me out—takes me out of such forlorn state. I appreciate this reminder.
Having just read this - this review is perfect! You have captured so eloquently the tension and horror that is on the page. I’m slightly intimidated at the thought of having to review this myself in the coming days. Because right now there are no words!
'Beloved is a book that needs to be savored. This read was an uncomfortable necessity. As you read, you feel as though you’re drowning. You, as the reader, feel as helpless, haunted, and hunted as the characters feel.' Yulani you've summarised my reading experience PERFECTLY here. I read this before and during undergrad and there was a sensation akin to being drowned as we got deeper into the book but also from the first few pages. Amazing amazing review.

Agreed. She has a wayyy with words. She was truly a gift. I've gotta get into more of her stuff.

Thank you so much! I definitely had to sit with it for a few days after reading it.

Thank you so so much ❤️. The reading experience was crazy and I still loved it so much.
I found out it was based on a true story after I read it while watching interviews. My heart dropped! I think my next Morrison may be 'Jazz'!
