Synopsis: A young woman who calls herself Bride, whose stunning blue-black skin is only one element of her beauty, her boldness and confidence, her success in life, but which caused her light-skinned mother to deny her even the simplest forms of love. There is Booker, the man Bride loves, and loses to anger. Rain, the mysterious white child with whom she crosses paths. And finally, Bride’s mother herself, Sweetness, who takes a lifetime to come to understand that “what you do to children matters. And they might never forget.”
Not sure how I feel about this one. First Toni Morrison I have ever read. It wasn't bad, but wasn't super stellar either. I read it easily enough, but I did put it down a few times. I think it's a cerebral book but it might have gone over my head.
