description: Is who we are really only skin deep? In this searing remonstrative book Toni Morrison unravels race through the stories of those debased and dehumanised because of it. A young black girl longing for the blue eyes of white baby dolls spirals into inferiority and confusion. A friendship falls apart over a disputed memory. An ex-slave is haunted by a lonely rebukeful ghost bent on bringing their past home. Strange and unexpected yet always stirring Morrisons writing on race sinks us deep into the heart and mind of our troubled humanity.Includes selections from the books Song of Solomon The Bluest Eye Beloved by Toni MorrisonVINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS.
