Well, this was a real tonal shift in reading from the previous book!
This book was a challenge for many reasons. Obviously slavery in the U.S. is something we all have to confront and come to terms with, and it isn't easy to read about it or its (ongoing) aftereffects. The story here was kind of perplexing to me though. Is it someone's descent into madness, based on past trauma? Who really was Beloved? I am not sure what to make of it to be honest, but I will definitely be thinking about it for some time.
