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

The prose is a feast, and while the content was sometimes hard to read because of its nature, I was moved by so many of the lessons that Morrison provides here.

J’ai eu du mal à me plonger dans le récit malgré sa petitesse.J’ai été captivée dès le moment où on découvre le point de vue de Booker. Je ressors mitigée par cette lecture.

C’est le deuxième livre de toni Morrison que je lis. L’œil le plus bleu (lu en vo) était brillant et excellent mais Délivrances m’a déçu.
