About this eBook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A New York Times Notable Book • From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: an emotional powerhouse of a novel about a modern Odysseus returning to a 1950s America mined with lethal pitfalls for an unwary Black man

When Frank Money joined the army to escape his too-small world, he left behind his cherished and fragile little sister, Cee. After the war, he journeys to his native Georgia with a renewed sense of purpose in search of his sister, but it becomes clear that their troubles began well before their wartime separation. Together, they return to their rural hometown of Lotus, where buried secrets are unearthed and where Frank learns at last what it means to be a man, what it takes to heal, and—above all—what it means to come home.

Ratings and reviews

Home is the story of Frank Money, a troubled Korean War Vet who journeys home to Lotus, Georgia to save his younger sister, Cee. On his journey, we learn about Frank's background and the brutality of life for African-Americans in the 40s and 50s. The writing in this book lives up to Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison's well-deserved reputation for beautiful prose.

Although not as epic or replete with embroidered characters and symbolism, as Toni Morrison's prior novels, 'Home' still hits 'Home'! To understand Toni Morrison, is to love Toni Morrison. She's an American treasure!
