Histoire
Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but 18 years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe's new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.

Histoire
Dans son onzième roman, qui se déroule à l'époque actuelle, Toni Morrison décrit sans concession des personnages longtemps prisonniers de leurs souvenirs et de leurs traumatismes. Au centre du récit, une jeune femme qui se fait appeler Bride. La noirceur de sa peau lui confère une beauté hors norme. Au fil des ans et des rencontres, elle connaît doutes, succès et atermoiements.

Histoire
Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. With this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez. As she follows Milkman from his rust belt city to the place of his family’s origins, Morrison introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized black world.

Histoire
These are the ways in which ordinary white people react when it is pointed out to them that they have done or said something that has - unintentionally - caused racial offence or hurt. After, all, a racist is the worst thing a person can be, right? But these reactions only serve to silence people of colour, who cannot give honest feedback to 'liberal' white people lest they provoke a dangerous emotional reaction. Robin DiAngelo coined the term 'White Fragility' in 2011 to describe this process and is here to show us how it serves to uphold the system of white supremacy.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

Her sharp, fiercely intelligent words hit a nerve, and the post went viral, spawning a huge number of comments from people desperate to speak up about their own similar experiences.

Histoire
Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars.

This is a deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and his home.

Description
The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, is the first novel written by Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is the story of 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

I enjoyed the reading by the author, her warm voice full of empathy and tenderness. The slow tempo suited me, each sentence sinking deep. This 1st book by Tony Morrison really touched my heart, it won't be the last !

Strikingly Beautiful
For this to be her first novel, it's purely astonishing. The rich nature of language and raw aggressive content makes for a longer than prescribed listen. You will rewind. You must rewind! Sometimes three and four times just to take in the magic of her construction of emotions, locations, people and conversations. Epic, tragic and haunting are the words left ed burned in my brain.

Amazing
I listened to this almost nonstop. My soul hurt at times, but I felt all that the characters felt, heard what they heard, saw what they saw. As a black american woman, this book spoke to me in a particular way; I would reccomend it to anyone wanting to learn more about internalized self-hatred in the black community, if you want to understand or at least see how it can begin. Toni Morrison is an amazing author, and I cannot reccomend this book enough.

Beautiful disaster
Absolutely loved it. Ms. Morrison takes the reader on a tragic, poetic, journey through the destruction of a little girl. She shines light on the societal forces responsible and does so without ever coming off preachy, leaving readers to deduce their own personal conclusions.

Wow...this was definitely an experience
This is a tricky book to review after one listening. At first I was thinking that because I usually listen to my audible reads before falling asleep, that I kept missing something. But then I realized the story was being told in a stream of consciousness of sorts, through different character perspectives. The ending sneaks up on you...not because of some plot twist but more because you realize who the story was really about. This is definitely one that I will listen to again and possibly even just read the book to get that experience of 'falling' into the world a little deeper. I loved that the author read it herself; I think it added a little something to the rhythm and cadence of the story that would not have been there if read by someone else. Would absolutely recommend this audible listen to anyone else that enjoys getting lost in the character voices and time period of this book's setting.

What an experience!
Listening to Toni Morrison read her own work aloud honestly makes the experience even richer. This is a difficult book -- and at times disturbing. That being said, it had me 100% engaged the whole time! You really get to feel the cadence of her work in a new way. Highly recommend!!

A 26 year Reread...
A 26 year reread...now I comphrend why I do not remember this book. How could that be, it was required for my ungrad African American Literature class, you just don't read a book, you dig in! I must have found a personal vein, and covered it up quickly, to avoid a mental cave in, during a extremely stressful time in my life, because I remembered nothing, absolutely nothing about a book that explains so much about me! Wowed, j3

Excellent but not an easy story.
Would you listen to The Bluest Eye again? Why?
Yes, it is a very well written story that touched and challenged me.
Which character – as performed by Toni Morrison – was your favorite?
All of the story was impressionable. The character, Pecola, was very strong for me.
Any additional comments?
This was a difficult story to get through but it was important. I plan to listen to it again after I let some time pass. It was a powerful story and had a lot to offer from different views.

fantastic reading of an excellent book
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes-- it was excellent. One of the best audiobooks I've ever heard. The book was great and the author's peerless reading of it only serves to make it all the more of a gripping experience.
What did you like best about this story?
Morrison's prose is so excellent. She perfectly writes with the voice of a child narrator-- indifferent, pragmatic, but never simplistic. I've never read/heard anything like it.
Have you listened to any of Toni Morrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This one is my absolute favorite. The delivery is riveting-- so patient and emotive-- downright chilling at times.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes

Marvelous Performance of My Favorite Book
Morrison is much too hard on herself in her author's note; even after so many readings, I am still deeply moved.
I first read it on New Year's Eve 1991. I cried and cried as one year became another. I knew "Pecola." in a variety of ways. And I knew it was much, much, much too late. Midnight struck a while back.
Thank you.

This was my 1st TM book. The story, vocabulary and individual characters were masterfully written. I know this language as a child and hearing it again in this novel added a certain authenticity to the story. I listened to this book every minute I could.

Raw
I listened to the Audiobook, as I have to write a schoolwork about this. It is raw and sad, to listen the author read the story and not anyone else, makes it even better, I really enjoyed listening, but keep in my how deep and sad the story is, as it deals with true events, sometimes it was hard to listen to. I think Toni Morrison to move the reader.
