Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. In
this brilliantly imagined novel Toni Morrison tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace
who meet as children in the small town of Medallion Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to
withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up
to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends
in an unforgivable betrayal-or does it end? Terrifying comic ribald and tragic Sula is a
work that overflows with life. You can't go wrong by reading or re-reading the collected works
of Toni Morrison. Beloved Song of Solomon The Bluest Eye Sula everything else - they're
transcendent all of them. You'll be glad you read them.--Barack Obama
