Synopsis: This is the story of the women in the life of Bill Cosey. We have his granddaughter, his wife, his former employer L and a few others.
Thought: As I have stated many times, I am completely obsessed with Toni Morrison. She is by far my favorite writer and I spend more than a little time immersed in her many novels. This might just be my least favorite of all of her books. I mean, I liked it. Don’t get me wrong. It just doesn’t have the same effect as say the Bluest Eye or Song of Solomon.

I loved the idea of a novel based around a character that is long dead and yet still carries so much weight in this novel. I also really wanted to spend time with L. What a captivating character! I mean I literally could read her section over and over again.
