Interesting submitted by Xris on September 4, 2019, 7:32am An interesting look at the New World when people first came over from Europe. Also liked that there was a same-sex relationship depicted, showing that they've been around for a long, long time.

Powerful book, beautiful writing. submitted by 21621031390949 on June 15, 2020, 10:55am A powerful book, beautiful writing. I listened to the recorded version, and perhaps I would like the written word more. This was read by the author, and I think that's often a mistake. Morrison's voice is clear and measured, but monotone. It could have been so much more if read by a pro.
Still, a fine novel and I recommend it.

Beautiful poetry submitted by psgriffi on July 23, 2020, 2:29pm I listened to the audiobook read by the author herself. The novel’s poetry was made more intoxicating & beautiful as rendered by Morrison’s voice.
