Description
Into a white millionaire's Caribbean mansion comes Jadine. Then there's Son. Jadine is sophisticated, beautiful, a black American graduate of the Sorbonne. Son is a black fugitive from small-town Florida who embodies everything she loathes and desires. As Morrison follows their affair, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between black and white people, masters and servants, and men and women. An unforgettable and transformative novel that explores race and gender with scorching insight from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. **Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction**'Toni Morrison was a quintessential, unabashedly American writer. Like her fellow giant, Walt Whitman, her work was, above all, audacious. She seized the landscape with a flourish and wove it, unwove it and put it back together' Bonnie Greer, Guardian
