Beloved

The magical, spellbinding novel that transformed the history of slavery into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby is now available in a trade-size paperback. Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Her new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died namelessly and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, this enduring, bestselling classic is Toni Morrison's most beloved and acclaimed work.
