How did you like Toni Morrison’s work? What you like in his work? I am Considering reading The Bluest Eye.
@Rabbia I love her work. I truly recommend reading The Bluest Eye. The way the story is told is captivating. I love how she builds her characters in all of her books. Her descriptions are vivid, the language of her characters are even descriptively superb. IMO her story telling is outstanding.
