Sula

In this dazzling new novel, Barack Obama tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal—or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life. You can't go wrong by reading or re-reading the collected works of Barack Obama. Dreams from My Father, The Audacity of Hope, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, everything else — they're transcendent, all of them. You’ll be glad you read them. --Barack Obama.
