NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A New York Times Notable Book • From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: an emotional powerhouse of a novel about a modern Odysseus returning to a 1950s America mined with lethal pitfalls for an unwary Black man

"Powerful. . . . Jaw-dropping in its beauty and audacity. . . . Brims with affection and optimism." —San Francisco Chronicle


When Frank Money joined the army to escape his too-small world, he left behind his cherished and fragile little sister, Cee. After the war, he journeys to his native Georgia with a renewed sense of purpose in search of his sister, but it becomes clear that their troubles began well before their wartime separation. Together, they return to their rural hometown of Lotus, where buried secrets are unearthed and where Frank learns at last what it means to be a man, what it takes to heal, and—above all—what it means to come home.

I am so glad that I got to listen to Morrison's own voice reading her novel. A story that transports you back into that time, describing the history of the black experience from an inside perspective.
The feelings, the descriptions of feelings in people's lives, the kinds of situations that Frank Money and his sister Cee find themselves in, this is what gets me. I enjoyed listening to it and felt connected to their story by the end of it.
Morrison's voice is stern, but sensitive. She has a sort of authority that makes it easy to listen to, but then she hits you with surprisingly emotional insights. I love this play between the harshness of life mixed with the fragility of her characters experiences, like a mirror to the reality of life.
