Beloved

A tale of brutality, horror and, above all, love at any cost, Beloved is Toni Morrison's best-known work and a Pulitzer-prize winning novel.

Sethe is now miles away from Sweet Home - the farm where she was kept as a slave for many years. Unable to forget the unspeakable horrors that took place there, Sethe is haunted by the violent spectre of her dead child, the daughter who died nameless and whose tombstone is etched with a single word, 'Beloved'.

"Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours... Beloved is a heartbreaking testimony to the ongoing ravages of slavery, and should be read by all", Margaret Atwood
