BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVED
Into a white millionaire's Caribbean mansion comes Jadine, a sophisticated graduate of the Sorbonne, art historian – a black American now living in Paris and Rome. Then there’s Son, a criminal on the run, uneducated, violent, contemptuous – a young American black of extreme beauty from small-town Florida. As Morrison follows their affair, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between blacks and whites, masters and servants, and men and women.
Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

Reviews
-
"Wonderful... A triumph"
New York 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
-
"Deeply perceptive...Returns risk and mischief to the contemporary American novel"
New York Times Book Review
-
"Toni Morrison's writing is a train that knows where it's going, fierce and fast-moving in narrative, lyrically showy in description"
Sunday Times
-
"Toni Morrison has made herself into the D. H. Lawrence of the black psyche, transforming individuals into forces, idiosyncrasy into inevitability"
New York Times
