Despie its brevity the story sounds powerful. I love Morrison's writing, it's graceful and touches you and almost seems to imprint itself on the reader. I wonder if the brevity of this book is responsible for it not being as deep as her novels? Morrison seems to always write about life as a struggle but that's RL for many people.<br /><br />A fantastic review, Diane. Thank you! I need to make some time to read the rest of Morrison's books!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-58087121776838599372012-06-08T23:51:32.784-04:002012-06-08T23:51:32.784-04:00Even a Morrison book that doesn't quite measur...Even a Morrison book that doesn't quite measure up to her others is still a book that is so much better than most other things out there.
