Sethe. Proud and beautiful, she escaped from slavery but is haunted by her heritage ---- from the fires of the flesh to the heartbreaking challenges to the spirit. Set in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, this profoundly affecting chronicle of slavery and its aftermath is Toni Morrison's greatest novel --- a dazzling achievement and a spellbinding reading experience.
