I don't get the interest in Toni Morrison? Her books are too hard to follow. Not every author Opra likes is good.

Un roman complexe mais bouleversant. J'ai voulu faire ma maligne et le lire en anglais. Je n'ai par moments absolument rien compris. Au final, je crois avoir saisi 75% de l'intrigue. Le plus perturbant c'est le personnage éponyme dont la nature n'est à aucun moment explicitée par le narrateur. Fantôme, hallucination, usurpatrice ? Le roman ne tranche pas, nous donne tous les ressentis des autres personnages et nous laisse sur notre faim. Je recommande toutefois la lecture du roman pour toutes les pages sur le ressenti des personnages vis-à-vis de l'esclavage. Sur un thème resassé, l'écriture de Toni Morrison donne à ressentir cette époque et m'a permis de me sentir dans la peau d'un esclave, ce que je n'avais jamais lu encore ailleurs !

The only book to make me cry as a fully grown adult. Cry? I mean blubb like a baby! Superb.

A powerful novel that carries a poetic nuance only Morrison can create, "Beloved" will place you in moral dilemmas while keeping you engulfed by the mystery surrounding the character Beloved. Morrison confronts the struggle, heartache and devastation of African-American slave familie in the early 1800s head on through a complex cast of characters, both living and dead, entwined by their own personal histories that are. "Beloved" carries a tone that shakes the foundations of possibility, leaving you emotionally drained by the tragedy of a community haunted by it's history. Go read it now!
