A review by katkatniss
Sula by Toni Morrison

dark emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

"A sleep deeper than the hospital drugs; deeper than the pits of plums, steadier than the condor's wing; more tranquil than the curve of eggs."

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