Review
Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don’t seem to come close to explaining her - Guardian
The poetry of the language. The vernacular and the rhythms of speech... It's eavesdropping on a slice of life. You care for every character. You love them, you bleed for them. It's a masterclass in narrative fiction. It's a book that not only makes me want to be a better writer, but a better person as well -- Sarah Winman - Good Housekeeping
Stunningly beautiful... Full of magnificent people... They are still haunting my house. I suspect they will be with me forever - Washington Post
Song of Solomon…profoundly changed my life - Guardian
A rhapsodic work... Intricate and inventive - New Yorker
