This is one I picked after I heard about death of Toni Morrison last year.
I was planning to read this and "Tar Baby" next but it took too long to finish this one.
The primary reason for the delay was that this one was a bit difficult to read. Not that the plot is difficult to follow or the language is cryptic. This is a story of African American slave, and her hardships in life after she got her freedom.
This is a real tragic one, and leaves you with the thought of what slavery did to those "Sixty Million and more" people. It was over but it left the scars that even time can't heal. You can be anybody but you can't leave your past behind you. It stays with you, and reminds you what you have been through. This makes you who you're today.
Specially, the bad things in life are difficult to forget. The best thing is to learn how to live with them.
Sethe could never did it but by the end you wish that Denver will turn out to be better than her about the things you can or can not forget.
