Amazon.com says:

A novel set in a small town in Ohio, focusing on two girls, Nell and Sula, both black, both poor who share their dreams until Sula escapes to live a vagrant city life for ten years. When she returns, the bond of their friendship is broken.

alibris syas:

Sula and Nel grow up together in "the Bottom," but when they become adults, their paths diverge. Sula leaves to explore the world, Nel settles down to a quiet life. When they are reunited, the differences between them become apparent--as do, in the end, the similarities. Morrison's novel evokes not only two unique women, but the entire culture of a small Ohio town.

This book is on the 1001 books to read before you die list.

I read this book while studying English at the University of Oslo over ten years ago. I remember it as a touching and well written book that I enjoyed very much.

I also remember once, on the underground on my way somewhere, I was reading it, and a couple og neo nazis sat down beside me. I doubt they had any idea about who Toni Morrison was at all. I don't think I have ever heard so many stupid things been said in such a short time span. I was very happy when they left.

I got this from lunacia at meetup today. I shouldn't have, I know ... I have way too many books to read as it is ;-) ... but this is on the 1001 list ... and it is a slim volume, only about 175 pages, so it won't take me very long to read - once I get started, of course ...

Thanks for sharing!!

Oops ... I did finish this book, a few days after the previous entry in fact, I've just been forgetting to journal it. I'm sorry! I'm the slowest journaler ever. :-( But better late than never ... ?

I liked this book although it was sad and rather tragic sometimes. Things going wrong in people's lives when you feel that they deserve better. Well written and with touching characters. A rather exotic setting from my POV. An interesting glimpse into the different lives people lead. Well worth reading although not what you'd call cheering.
