Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece confronts the unimaginable horrors of slavery through the haunting story of Sethe, a formerly enslaved woman living in post-Civil War Ohio. When the ghost of her deceased daughter begins to manifest, past and present collide in a powerful exploration of trauma, memory, and the enduring impact of America's original sin. Morrison's luminous prose transforms historical horror into a work of profound beauty and devastating truth.
