Book description
May, Christine, Heed, Junior, Vida - even L - all are women obsessed
by Bill Cosey. He shapes their yearnings for a father, husband, lover,
guardian, and friend.
This audacious vision from a master storyteller of the nature of
love - its appetite, its sublime possession, and its dread - is rich
in characters and dramatic events, and in its profound understanding
of how alive the past can be. Sensual, elegiac and unforgettable,
Love reflects the different facets of love, shifting from
desire and lust and ultimately comes full circle to that indelible,
overwhelming first love that marks us forever.
Toni Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. She
is the author of many novels, including
The Bluest Eye, Beloved
(made into a major film),
Paradise
and, most recently,
A Mercy.
She has also received the National Book Critics Circle Award and a
Pulitzer Prize for her fiction.
