Paradise

Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved, Toni Morrison is one of the finest novelists of our times.

Four young women are brutally attacked near an all-black town in rural Oklahoma.

The inevitability of this attack, and the attempts to avert it, lie at the heart of Paradise. Spanning the birth of the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam, the counter-culture of the late 1970s, deftly manipulating past, present and future, this novel reveals the interior lives of its American citizens with astonishing clarity. It is through their eyes we see the clashes that have defined a nation.
