You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.

Toni Morrison is a freaking genius. This book has so many details, is it ever possible to get tired of figuring it all out? If you want a review of this book, I suggest checking out the 1000-million scholarly articles written about each minuscule word and space and character. Dive deep, so you can fly.

This book is truly breathtaking. With every read I enjoy it as if it was the first time. The symbolism, metaphors, characters, and overall themes are simply perfect. Just a beautifully written representation of oral history, the pain Black women face, the loss of self, etc etc. perfect
