I'm always a bit excited to read a book that I know absolutely nothing about, and that was the case with Beloved by Toni Morrison. It turns out that it is actually a bit of a ghost story... The story is about Sethe, a former runaway slave, and her daughter Denver. One day a young woman shows up on their doorstep and all evidence makes it seem as if this woman is actually Sethe's other daughter that she killed as a young child. The whole story is tragic and has multiple layers... so I can see why it gets assigned in English Literature classes. Overall I enjoyed it, A-.
