A review by alexaela
Beloved by Toni Morrison

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.
ouch. was really excited for this one, even if worries regarding my disinterest for slavery stories never left me. should have listened to the worries, they know better. i don't think my issue with this kind of subject matter lies per se in the "borderline traumaporn" slavery subject itself but more so in the double violence and dehumanization black women are subjected to, having both black and female bodies, even worse when it comes from black men themselves. p10-ish to 13-ish gave me just that, and i've rarely felt as disgusted.
