Haunted by trauma and memory, Sethe is a woman who escaped slavery but cannot escape its scars. Living in a house shadowed by a restless spirit—the ghost of her baby, whose tombstone bears only the word Beloved—Sethe tries to forge a life of peace in Ohio. Yet the horrors of her past at Sweet Home, the plantation she fled, still cling to her.
When a mysterious young woman appears, calling herself Beloved, Sethe’s buried memories resurface with force, unraveling the fragile lives built in the aftermath of bondage. Lyrical, unflinching, and profound, Beloved blends myth and history into a powerful portrait of motherhood, memory, and the enduring impact of slavery.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison’s masterpiece stands as one of the most vital works in American literature.
