Description de l’éditeur
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.
‘Dazzling. . . Magical. . . An extraordinary work’ New York Times
‘Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours… Beloved is a heartbreaking testimony to the ongoing ravages of slavery, and should be read by all’ Margaret Atwood
‘An American masterpiece’ A. S. Byatt

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
``Mixed with the lyric beauty of the writing, the fury in Morrison's . . . book is almost palpable,'' asserted PW of this Pulitzer Prize-winning ``haunting chronicle of slavery and its aftermath'' set in rural Ohio in the wake of the Civil War. The ``brilliantly conceived story . . . should not be missed.''
