“The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison is a haunting and poignant tale that delves into the complexities of race, beauty, and identity in 1940s America. Through the eyes of young Pecola Breedlove, who yearns for blue eyes and societal acceptance, Morrison weaves a narrative that is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. I found myself deeply moved by Pecola’s innocence and the harsh realities she faces, making this book an unforgettable read.
Love is never any better than the lover.
