Toni Morrison has a knack for creating vast vivid worlds, whole painful histories, in so few pages, and this is no exception. A meditation on generational trauma and the scars we try to hide. Beautiful and aching.

I honestly really enjoyed this book, I liked the way it had different character perspectives as "chapters"
Adams death situation really got me though I was like damn Toni hold up stop trying to choke me
I also really liked Booker and Adams "relationship" when Queen was telling him how he tortured himself over Adams death


Lots of lines I had to write down that I really loved too

Surprisingly? I feel bad for Sweetness like usually people make a character like that you absolutely hate because of course you do but Morrison did it in a way that had me feeling bad like she wasnt a good mother in the slightest and she "deserves" her situation but personally you kinda wish her and Bride couldve had a decent relationship


Lastly
I kinda thought that woman might've been innocent but I still wasn't expecting it? Like I thought maybe she didn't really see anything but then she was like I wanted my mother to hold my hand and I was like dang an even better reasoning and outcome than I thought
