BELOVED

Description

A towering achievement in world literature and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Beloved is a profound, hallucinatory, and devastating exploration of the psychological legacy of slavery. Set in 1873 Cincinnati, it follows Sethe, a formerly enslaved woman who is haunted by the literal and figurative ghost of the daughter she killed to save from a life of bondage. When a mysterious young woman calling herself “Beloved” appears on her doorstep, the past and present collide in a visceral struggle for memory, motherhood, and survival.
