Sula, Paperback / softback Book

Sula Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

'Extravagantly beautiful... Enormously, achingly alive... A howl of love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter' New York TimesAs young girls, Nel and Sula shared each other's secrets and dreams in the poor black mid-West of their childhood.

Then Sula ran away to live her dreams and Nel got married.

Ten years later Sula returns and no one, least of all Nel, trusts her.

Sula is a story of fear - the fear that traps us, justifying itself through perpetual myth and legend.

Cast as a witch by the people who resent her strength, Sula is a woman of uncompromising power, a wayward force who challenges the smallness of a world that tries to hold her down. 'What a force her thoughts have been and how grateful we must be that they were offered to us in this extremely challenging age' Alice Walker, GuardianBY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVEDWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
