Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
5.0
Toni Morrison is such a beautiful writer. This book comes together like a bit of a puzzle -- at some points, you're not sure what you're looking at and how it all fits together, then it suddenly all clicks and the end result is stunning.
The overall story is big and fantastical and went places I never expected -- a search for gold, a secret society, ghosts, stories of supernatural events. But the heart of the story is the changes that happen within Milkman, the main character, who gradually sees how he has been taking people for granted and coasting through life at other people's expense.
I loved this book so much that I decided I'm going to try to read all of Toni Morrison's other books this year too. 4.5 stars.
