Sula

Stunning… Everything Morrison does is brilliant.

Jill Dawson, Waitrose Weekend

Extravagantly beautiful... Enormously, achingly alive... A howl of love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter

New York Times

Morrison explores the mythic power of femininity in a poor and isolated rural black community where women rule as mothers, warriors, witches and story-tellers... One of the most compelling writers at work today

The Times

Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to explaining her

Guardian

In characters like Sula, Toni Morrison's originality and power emerge

The Nation

Full of beauty, eccentricity, bustle, laughter, sensuality, generous affection… Toni Morrison’s work is strikingly individual

Chicago Daily News

As mournful as a spiritual and as angry as a clenched fist...written in language so pure and resonant that it makes you ache
