A heartbreaking story of generational trauma, racial self-loathing, and the destruction of societal beauty standards. Read this one quickly but will be thinking about it for a while. A hard read but an important one.

I feel like an asshole as I say this. I suppose I am. I remember reading Morrison before in college and loving and appreciating her. I just could not with this book. I really do not enjoy novels that are deliberately hard to read. (I only understood Claudia's POV.)

I also just really can't be okay with the idea, even if it's a child's, that a father raping his daughter is okay because he loved her.

Yeah, no. I guess I don't get it, and I should have someone explain this one to me. But I don't know that I want to try to read this one again and put in that effort.
