Critics Review
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 *The poetry of the language. The vernacular and the rhythms of speech… It’s eavesdropping on a slice of life. You care for every character. You love them, you bleed for them. It’s a masterclass in narrative fiction. It’s a book that not only makes me want to be a better writer, but a better person as well – Sarah Winman * Good Housekeeping *Stunningly beautiful… Full of magnificent people… They are still haunting my house. I suspect they will be with me forever * Washington Post *Song of Solomon…profoundly changed my life * Guardian *A rhapsodic work… Intricate and inventive * New Yorker *A complex, wonderfully alive and imaginative story…glittering * Daily Telegraph *Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon grips as a novel of extraordinary truth, wisdom and humour * Evening Standard *The language of Morrison’s third novel astounds from its first pages to its triumphant conclusion… an epic of the African-American experience – Abdulrazak Gurnah * Week *Toni Morrison has written a brilliant prose tale that surveys nearly a century of American history as it impinges on a single family * New York Times Book Review *Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon grips as a novel of extraordinary truth, wisdom and humour * Sunday Telegraph *
