Items related to Love
May, Christine, Heed, Junior, Vida - even L - all are women obsessed by Bill Cosey. More than the wealthy owner of the famous Cosey Hotel and Resort, he shapes their yearnings for a father, husband, lover, guardian, and friend, yearnings that dominate the lives of these women long after his death. Yet Cosey himself is at the mercy of a troubled past and a spellbinding woman, 'a sporting woman', named Celestial. This audacious vision from a master storyteller of the nature of love - its appetite, its sublime possession, and its dread - is rich in characters and dramatic events, and in its profound understanding of how alive the past can be. Sensual, elegiac and unforgettable, Love reflects the different facets of love, shifting from desire and lust and ultimately comes full circle to that indelible, overwhelming first love that marks us forever.

Review:
"Like love at first sight, it has the ability to startle." -"The Boston Globe"
"A deeply affecting work by a Great American Novelist who is still . . . at the top of her form. . . . Morrison's tender, taut prose wastes no word, no syllable, no letter. . . . A novel of devastating revelations, impeccably arranged." -"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"
"A marvelous work, which enlarges our conception not only of love but of racial politics, the ubiquitous past and . . . paradise." -"Los Angeles Times Book Review
"
"A dense, dark star of a novel . . . with Morrison writing at the top of her game." -"Newsweek"
"Toni Morrison reframes the mythology of love in a dark light and comes away with a mesmerizing gem." -"San Francisco Chronicle
""Like every other stealthy Morrison novel, "Love" has closets and cellars, bolt-holes and trap-doors and card tricks. . . . Yet again, she gives us dreams." -John Leonard, "Vanity Fair
"
"The carefully crafted work of a storyteller entirely unburdened by her Nobel Prize. . . . William Faulkner and Eudora Welty would feel right welcome. . . . The moral palette of this novel displays a full range of colors." -"The Christian Science Monitor"
"A profound commentary on the power of love." -"The Baltimore Sun
"
""Love "is slim and tight as a folded fan, yet from it the author flashes a panorama three generations wide. . . . When the reader closes the book . . . there is the satisfaction of a song that has ended just right. The standing soloist we applaud . . . is the fierce literary intelligence of Morrison striking the chords of human experience and playing it wise." -"The Miami Herald"
"Magisterial and gripping . . . a knockout. . . . A reminder of what a marvel a novel can be." -"Rocky Mountain News"
"To enter a novel by Morrison is to enter a world fully imagined, and "Love "is no exception. . . . "Love" takes you on the first page and holds you in the welcome spell of a writer who knows what she's doing, and who can slip into the most ordinary sentence a twist of surprise." -"San Jose Mercury News"
""Love" is Morrison back at the peak of her talent. . . . The novel lives up to its name and puts to rest any doubts that its author is anything except great." -"New York Daily News"
"[A] beautifully wrought meditation on society, family and human nature . . . brimming with provocative, beautiful writing." -"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
""Love" . . . [is] like that song you remember from long ago, the one you danced to, sweet and slow, and which has haunted you ever since. . . . Morrison's tale lies in its telling, not just the lilting lyricism of her prose but also the insight into her characters' hidden hearts." -"The Orlando Sentinel"
"For pure pleasure, it deserves to be read more than once." -"The Plain Dealer
"
