Review: Beloved
Beloved by Toni Morrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Excellent performance by Toni Morrison of her extremely good novel. The captivating image of a ghost-baby that may or may not "real" seems an apt metaphor for a post-Civil War generation of African-Americans groping in the dark toward an unknown future in many ways still shackled by spectres of the past.
