Book description
An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money
finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the
front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. His home
-- and himself in it -- may no longer be as he remembers it, but Frank
is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his
medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia
town they come from, which he's hated all his life.
As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave
him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he
thought he could never possess again. Toni Morrison's deeply moving
novel reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood -- and,
finally, his home. This is a stunning new novel, by the author of Beloved.
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.
