love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter

Morrison explores the mythic power of femininity in a poor and
isolated rural black community where women rule as mothers,
warriors, witches and story-tellers... One of the most compelling
writers at work today

divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to
explaining her
*Guardian*
