Sula

Author: Toni Morrison

Sula, a haunting tale of friendship and betrayal, weaves through the lives of two Black women in a small Ohio town. Nel and Sula, inseparable as girls, take divergent paths as adults. Morrison’s lyrical prose paints a vivid portrait of their community, exploring themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of female bonds. As I read, I found myself captivated by the raw emotions and moral ambiguities, feeling both unsettled and moved by this powerful exploration of human nature.

Lonely, ain't it?
