Beloved

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * An unflinchingly look into the abyss of slavery, from the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner. This spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword.

Sethe, its
protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is
still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where
so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of
her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.
