Critics Review
”[Beloved] has left the realm of fiction and become a force of nature” Guardian “A triumph” – Margaret Atwood New York Times Book Review “A magnificent achievement… An American masterpiece” – A. S. Byatt Guardian “There is something great in Beloved: a play of human voices, consciously exalted, perversely stressed, yet holding true. It gets you” New Yorker “Toni Morrison has created a frightening, beautiful and intensely exciting novel about America and its past. I am not able to think of a better one” London Review of Books “A work of genuine force… Beautifully written” Washington Post “Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to explaining her” Guardian
