출판사 설명
One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years • A modern masterpiece about love and kinship, about living in an America birthed from slavery. Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison gives life to characters who struggle with what society tells them to be, and the love they long for and crave as Black women. • With a new introduction by Jesmyn Ward.
“Extravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive.” —The New York Times
Sula and Nel are born in the Bottom—a small town at the top of a hill. Sula is wild, and daring; she does what she wants, while Nel is well-mannered, a mamma’s girl with a questioning heart. Growing up they forge a bond stronger than anything, stronger even than the dark secret they have to bear. Strong enough, it seems, to last a lifetime—until, decades later, as the girls become women, Sula’s anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond forgiveness.

Sula - A beautifully difficult read
As a person who does not like to read often. This probably isn’t a good book to start at. It was a bit of a challenge to understand her writing style but once you get in the grove its alright. I found myself going back and rereading to make sure I wasn’t missing anything due to the quick jumps she does between paragraphs!
Spoilers in the Introduction
Why does Jesmyn Ward spoil so much of the book in her introduction?! For first time readers the story may be more enjoyable if that portion is moved to the end or a spoiler notification needs to be added for the reader.
What a Book
It’s a mouth full for a short read
