★ A beautiful novel

AA friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. Sula and Nel–both black, both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town–meet when they are twelve, wishbone thin and dreaming of princes.

Through their girlhood years they share everything–perceptions, judgments, yearnings, secrets, even crime–until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the sporting life of the men hanging around the place in headrags and soft felt hats there hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, thieving insurance men, bug-ridden flour…at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped.

Sula leaps it, escapes and roams the cities of America for ten years, a vagrant city life. Then she returns to the town, to her friend. But Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community. She is a wife now, settled with her man and her three children. She belongs. She accommodates to the Bottom, where you avoid the hand of God by getting in it, by staying upright, helping out at church suppers, asking after folks–where you deal with evil by surviving it.

Not Sula. As willing to feel pain as to give pain, she can never accommodate. Nel can’t understand her any more, and the others never did. Sula scares them.

Their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal-or does it end?

In clear, dark, resonant language, 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, through forty years, up to the time of their bewildered realization that even more than they feared Sula, their pariah, they needed her.

Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life.

Toni Morrison was the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature and best known for her nuanced discussion of race in America.
