“Morrison has brought it all together: the poetry, the emotion, the
broad symbolic plan.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Stunning. . . . Morrison at her novelistic best.” —The New
Yorker
“Morrison dazzles.” —The Nation
“A fascinating story, wonderfully detailed. . . . The town is the
stage for a profound and provocative debate.” —Los Angeles
Times
“Morrison [is] a master storyteller. . . . She is at the height of
her imaginative powers.” —New York Daily News
“Everything is resonant here: the most casual gestures are informed
by the facts and myths of genders and race, by our notions of
civilization and lawlessness, body and spirit, Christianity and
witchcraft. Morrison’s lyrical prose displays great confidence in
her readers’ intelligence, demands their unflagging attention, and
rewards them generously—with a memorable work of epic range and
monumental ambition.” —People
“Toni Morrison is an extraordinarily good writer. Two pages into
anything she writes one feels the power of her language and the
emotional authority behind that language.” —The Village Voice
“Morrison is at the top of her form. . . . Impressive, eloquent,
and powerfully imagined.” —The Baltimore Sun
“Morrison is a terrific storyteller. . . . Her writing evokes the
joyful richness of life.” —Newsday
“A breathtaking, risk-taking major work that will have readers
feverishly, and fearfully turning the pages.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[A] triumph. . . . The individual stories of both the women and
the townspeople reveal Morrison at her best.” —Publishers Weekly
