Beloved - Toni Morrison
"An innovative portrait of a woman haunted by the past, held hostage by the things that have happened to her. Matilda Dods once said,"there is a quote from Sixo, in Beloved where he says ‘she is a friend of my mind. She gather me man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.’ I’ve come to feel like reading Morrison does the same thing for the reader.""
