Beloved: Toni Morrison
America, mid-1800s: Slavery is about to end and Sethe is haunted by the trauma it inflicted on her life at Sweet Home, Kentucky. Her dead baby girl, whose tombstone bears the single word Beloved, returns as a spirit to punish her mother and elicit her love. Beloved was inspired by the true and tragic story of Margaret Garner, an African/American woman who killed her daughter rather than allow her to be enslaved. Toni Morrison’s literary masterpiece is a story of bravery, dignity, racism, and deep emotional pain.

” Beloved by Toni Morrison (1931 – 2019) is a tour de force of writing that in 1988 won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It is a story that both shocks and fascinates because of its unflinching honesty and a narrative structure that is bold, experimental, and highly imaginative. Toni Morrison raised the literary bar and Beloved is a powerful testimony of her remarkable legacy.”
