"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 beautiful and important book" (The Times)
"Powerful, elemental... The issues Morrison explores go to the root of what humanity is. They could not be more important" (Guardian)
"Left me trembling at the sheer brilliance of its storytelling and the unassailable dignity of its purpose" (Evening Standard)
"So enthralling that you'll want to read it more than once" (Sunday Times)
