"Haunting . . . [Morrison] maps the day-to-day lives of her characters with lyrical precision. . . . Home encapsulates all the themes that have fueled her fiction, from the early novels Sula and The Bluest Eye, through her dazzling masterwork, Beloved." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Gorgeous and intense, brutal yet heartwarming. . . . Accessible, tightly composed and visceral as anything Morrison has yet written. . . . [A] devastating, deeply humane--and ever-relevant--book." --Heller McAlpin, NPR "Luminescent. . . . There is no novelist alive who has captured the beauty and democracy of the American vernacular so well." --The Boston Globe "Powerful. . . . Jaw-dropping in its beauty and audacity. . . . Brims with affection and optimism." --San Francisco Chronicle "This scarily quiet tale packs all the thundering themes Morrison has explored before. She's never been more concise, though, and that restraint demonstrates the full range of her power. . . . A daringly hopeful story about the possibility of healing -- or at least surviving in a shadow of peace." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post "A fertile narrative imbued with and embellished by Morrison's visionary scope and poetic majesty." --Elle"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
