This is a short and deeply affecting novella by the Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. It is the story of a man one Frank Money a seriously traumatised veteran of the Korean War. He is a man who has lost everything, his home, his self worth and very nearly his sanity. His only attachment is to his sister Cee, whom he has loved and cared about since childhood. Cee is in mortal danger and Frank must bring her home. So the premise of the story is simple but the telling is a triumph. A mosaic of racism, violence, murder, abuse and hopelessness the story moves back and forth through time, place and character. The language is spare but powerful, laced with brief lyricism. It is an emotional read and above all acknowledges and celebrates the triumph of love and goodness in the human heart no matter what the odds. This is another triumph from this celebrated author.Read More

    An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. His home - and himself in it - may no longer be as he remembers it but Frank is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from which he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his sense of self he discovers a profound courage he thought he could never possess again. Toni Morrison's deeply moving novel reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and finally his home. This is a stunning new novel by the author of "Beloved".
