Media Reviews

Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don't seem to come close to explaining her * Guardian *
A triumph * Sunday Times *
A heartbreaking account of lost innocence and fractured dreams... Haunting * New York Times *
I read Toni Morrison's Home in one sitting and was moved to tears. It's a novella only in length: the deceptively straightforward narrative contains worlds * Scotsman *
Morrison's writing is so deft that even barely sketched characters leap off the page * Sunday Telegraph *
