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. "You can't go wrong by reading
or re-reading the collected works of Toni Morrison. Beloved Song of Solomon The Bluest Eye
