5.0
An achingly beautiful portrayal of love, trauma, and how we survive in its wake. There is no way to describe this book with words that come near to being worthy of Morrison’s own stunning prose. This book grabbed me by the heart and refused to let go. Perfect doesn’t even come close to describing it.
