Beloved

Confront the haunting legacy of slavery in Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, *Beloved*. Set in post-Civil War Ohio, the novel tells the story of Sethe, an escaped slave who is haunted—literally and figuratively—by the trauma of her past. Her home is possessed by the angry ghost of her baby, who died nameless. When a mysterious teenage girl calls herself Beloved arrives, Sethe’s repressed memories come flooding back with devastating force. Lyrical, terrifying, and profoundly moving, Morrison blends history and the supernatural to explore the enduring psychological toll of slavery. A necessary, powerful addition to every personal library.
