Read This



I finished this book this month and I have to be honest, I went in expecting it to be a laborious read. Sometimes, as amazing as she is and with exceptions like Sula, some people may find it hard to stick with Toni Morrison books. But I was pleasantly surprised to not have the urge to put Home down. From cover to cover it's an endearing story about the ashes left behind when wars pack up what's left of a society and move on. A broke and ironically named Frank Money returns from being deployed in Korea but he comes back with less than what he had going in. He's lost his two best friends, a woman whom he adored and, it seems at times, his mind. Now he must go home before his younger sister dies and attempt to resurrect what the war tried to kill in him by conquering his past. For real though, read this.
