PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A spellbinding
novel that transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and
as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword by the author.
This "brutally
powerful, mesmerizing story" (People) is an unflinchingly look
into the abyss of slavery, from the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner.
Sethe was born a
slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not
free. Sethe has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm
where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe's new home is
haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose
tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
"A
masterwork.... Wonderful.... I can't imagine American literature
without it." --John Leonard, Los Angeles Times
