Product DescriptionTwo girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. In this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal—or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sulais a work that overflows with life.

Rating: - a great read
The Bluest Eye is one of my favorite books of all time. Sula is also a great read. The insights about relationships are some of Morrison's best, the prose is clear and beautiful, and some of the events will stick in your brain for a long time.
