About this ebook

Sethe is now miles away from Sweet Home, the farm where she was kept as a slave.

Unable to forget the unspeakable horrors that took place there, she is haunted by the violent spectre of her dead child, the daughter who died nameless and whose tombstone is etched with a single word, ‘Beloved’. A tale of brutality, horror and, above all, love at any cost, Beloved is Toni Morrison’s enduring masterpiece and best-known work.

Ratings and reviews

This book is deep on so many levels. It will make you think about love from many different perspectives. The characters are full of life and each given their own story and closure. I also liked the detail in how life was for a black person growing up when slavery was common in America; some breathtaking atrocities are played described, playing with your own emotions. I definitely recommend to all.

when I brought this book it's mentioned 350 pages however it has only 52 page also subsequent page and cover is old after I did purchase , I tried to return it , Google refuse yo refund .

Wanted to read this book for a while and finally built up the courage to dive deep into it. Morrison has an exceptional skill to describe emotions of former slaves that let me fully immerse into the situations that black people had to endure. Very much recommend reading this book!
