Finishing Sula is a mood. I have been emptied. I am dumbstruck, in awe, and lost, in the simplest and most beautiful way possible.

i don't know how to explain it but the way toni morrison weaves words together is jsut so beautiful. even during the worst, most painful scenes, her words brought a beauty to what was happening.
I can't say that i like sula as a character all that much. i found her lack of caring for nel when
i actually really liked how we were given short backgrounds into other characters like shadrack. his story was so fucking heartbreaking, especially at the end of the book and i was really thinking he was gonna turn out to be the "villain of the story" ig and was not happy about that. i was happy, however, to see that he was allowed to just exist as a good guy that went through a lot of shit.
don't talk to me about Eva, though, i have a lot of feelings about her and they aren't positive.
my mom has loved toni morrison since she was in high school and i loved this book so i'm excited (also not though because I'm sure the rest of her books might be fairly depressing and sad too) to read all of her other books!
