About Beloved by Toni Morrison:
 
A Nobel laureate and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison weaves a heartbreaking tale of legendary proportions. Set in post–Civil War Ohio, Beloved is the story of an escaped slave haunted by her past. Although Sethe is no longer enslaved, she is not yet free from her memories of the child and husband she buried, of the brutal violence on the plantation she fled, of life and of death, and of everything in between.
 
Beautiful, unflinching, and profound, Beloved is Morrison’s crowning achievement and is one of America’s greatest novels.
