3.5

Not my favourite Morrison, but still a unique and character driven novel with the familiar poetic prose and magical realism. The parts on the island were a great intimate drama, but once the story left the island the story began to waver. I like the discussions of slavery, misogyny, racism and how you can change your path in life regardless if you're a tar baby or not. Much to think about and mull about with this one
