About this product

Product Information

Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair, and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for normalcy, for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.Yet as her dream grows more fervent, her life slowly starts to disintegrate in the face of adversity and strife. A powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity, Toni Morrison's virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have always characterized her writing.

    Excellent condition

    Item was as described and arrived on time. This book is an amazing read and one of my favorites by Toni Morrison. I first read it in my junior year in highschool as part of our advance English course and remember how powerful the story was. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

    Written and annotated used book is not acceptable

    This book was very marked-up and notated by its previous owner. It is unreadable. Acceptable is not a good descriptor for a book that was used like this.

    Yet another great book by Toni Morrison. Nice copy in perfect shape.

    This is a well known book - Books are near impossible to review as I cannot read them as fast as I buy them. This was written by the late Toni Morrison so of course it is going to be great. I have listened to the audio-book but wanted to read it for myself. No doubt it will be fantastic. Morrison (imho) only wrote great books.

    Great author

    It must be good because some people want to ban it.

    Black Life in Early 20th Century of US.

    Good quick read about black life in US in the 1930-1950. Most of Morrison's other works dealt with post slavery life. As with 'Beloved' Morrison throws in some, to me, fantasy elements, that may only be in some of the character minds.
