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 *A triumph * Sunday Times *A heartbreaking account of lost innocence and fractured dreams… Haunting * New York Times *I read Toni Morrison’s Home in one sitting and was moved to tears. It’s a novella only in length: the deceptively straightforward narrative contains worlds * Scotsman *Morrison’s writing is so deft that even barely sketched characters leap off the page * Sunday Telegraph *Morrison excels at presenting a raw and moving portrait of fractured masculinity * Independent *Pulsing with imaginative energy… Home is a compact triumph * Sunday Times *Beautifully, sparely written…lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned * Sunday Express *Toni Morrison still has the power to shock and deliver hope * Good Housekeeping *Each word resounds with sultry, heat-oppressive Georgia * Spectator *
