Toni Morrison
Which toni morrison books should I read next?
I’m studying Toni Morrison at uni next term and need to have read 4 or 5 books by her, but I’m allowed to choose which ones. I’ve already read Beloved and am just finishing Paradise, but would appreciate recommendations as to which others I should read. Ideally they need to be both enjoyable and have something to say about them in essays! Thanks
