À propos de cet audio

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A spellbinding novel that transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword by the author.

This "brutally powerful, mesmerizing story” (People) is an unflinchingly look into the abyss of slavery, from the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner.

Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe 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.

Toni Morrison reading Beloved

My first attempt at Beloved was in print. I could not finish it. I was confounded in trying to reconcile my reaction to the book and all the laudable reviews. I then tried this audiobook version and found my mind wandering again. It was a struggle for me to finish this book. I think that I have good book-picking instincts, but alas my instincts deserted me on this one.

I will try another book by Toni Morrison. Perhaps I will return in the future and give Beloved another try.

Poetic language, scattered story

This piece of historical fiction reads like poetry. And although it is fiction, there is nothing more real than this story told. Highly suggest to listen and read (if possible). Toni Morrison’s written and auditory performances are stellar.

Real, raw and beautiful

At first I wasn’t sold on Toni’s reading of Beloved - but then it was the best experience ever- the pace,tone and her obvious intimacy with characters made this a masterpiece.

A literary must read.

This historically accurate novel is brilliantly written. The story was so engaging that I didn't want to turn it off, the imagery transported me to the 124 house easily and it was such a treat for it to be read by the author herself. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Book!
