Many book groups have read and raved about Beloved, Morrison's haunting
novel about one woman's terrible choice to save her children from the horrors of slavery. Sula has received less
attention, but it shares the strange beauty and fascinating characters that make Morrison's classic fiction a favorite
among book groups. The novel is set in the small town of Medallion, Ohio during the years spanning the First World War to
the Civil Rights Movement, and it tells the story Nel and Sula, whose friendship endures the hardships of social change and
personal transformation. Sula is a slim little book, but make no mistake--it raises complex questions about race,
sex, death, poverty, education, and friendship among women. Morrison is the rarest of creatures: a writer who addresses
tough issues with grace and wisdom and tells a great story at the same time.
