God Help the Child

von Toni Morrison

Sweetness wants to love her child, Bride, but she struggles to love her as a mother should. Bride, now glamorous, grown up, ebony-black and panther-like, wants to love her man, Booker, but she finds herself betrayed by a moment in her past. This provocative new novel from the Nobel Laureate exposes the damage adults wreak on children, and how this echoes through the generations.
