A great storyteller
Guardian
Morrison’s writing of a black romance pays its debt to blues music, the rhythms and the melancholy pleasures of which she has so magically transformed into a novel
London Review of Books
The author conjures up worlds with complete authority and makes no secret of her angst at the injustices dealt to black women
New York Times Book Review
Wonderful... A brilliant, daring novel... Every voice amazes
Chicago Tribune
As rich in themes and poetic images as her Pulitzer Prize-winning Beloved... Morrison conjures up the hand of slavery on Harlem's jazz generation. The more you listen, the more you crave to hear
Glamour
She may be the last classic American writer, squarely in the tradition of Poe, Melville, Twain and Faulkner
Newsweek
[A] masterpiece... She has moved from strength to strength until she has reached the distinction of being beyond comparison
