The intense friendship shared by two African-American women raised in an Ohio town changes when one of them leaves to roam the countryside and then returns ten years Later. Read by Toni Morrison. Book available.
Sula and Nel-both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town-meet when they are twelve. Through their girlhood years they share everything, until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the surface hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, bug-ridden flour. . .
In a clear, dark, resonant language, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people.
Beautifully read by Toni Morrison, Sula is an audio to treasure.
