“A brutally powerful, mesmerizing story.”
A New York Public Library Staff Pick of Favorite Books of the Last 125 Years
An Elle Magazine Pick of Best Audiobooks
Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding audio transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

A very sad portrayal of the horrors of slavery and the lengths a mother will take to keep her children from it. I've read this once before, many years ago. And even more, the movie adaption is one of my favorites.
