CW: child abuse, racism, colourism, violence, blood, casual ableism, sexual content, sexual assault (adult & child), death, murder, pedophilia
and outstanding novel about childhood trauma and how it affects people through adulthood. upsetting, sad, while still hopeful & wonderful. this was my first Toni Morrison and it will absolutely not be the last.
