Sula

by ToniMorrison (Author)

Synopsis

BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVED As young girls, Nel and Sula shared each other's secrets and dreams in the poor black mid-West of their childhood. Then Sula ran away to live her dreams and Nel got married. Ten years later Sula returns and no one, least of all Nel, trusts her. Sula is a story of fear - the fear that traps us, justifying itself through perpetual myth and legend. Cast as a witch by the people who resent her strength, Sula is a woman of uncompromising power, a wayward force who challenges the smallness of a world that tries to hold her down. Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

Media Reviews
Stunning... Everything Morrison does is brilliant. -- Jill Dawson * Waitrose Weekend *
Extravagantly beautiful... Enormously, achingly alive... A howl of love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter * New York Times *
Morrison explores the mythic power of femininity in a poor and isolated rural black community where women rule as mothers, warriors, witches and story-tellers... One of the most compelling writers at work today * The Times *
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 *
In characters like Sula, Toni Morrison's originality and power emerge * The Nation *
