The bluest eye
by Toni Morrison
There has been a lot of press about banned books lately, which of course makes you want to read them to see what all the fuss is about. This is one of the most beautifully written, raw, devastatingly disciplined books I have ever read. Highly recommended. --Katie
"The Bluest Eye,published in 1970, is the first novel written by Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature. It is the story of eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment."
