El dia en que Sethe, la esclava, mato a su hija Beloved, el tiempo se detuvo. No fue locura lo que guio su mano, sino amor por esa nina que desde su nacimiento se alimento de leche mezclada con sangre. Fue un amor de madre que solo en el crimen encontro un arma para evitar el horror y la indignidad de un futuro que pertenecia al hombre blanco. Desde el dia en que el tiempo se detuvo, el fantasma de Beloved habito la casa y el dolor fue la unica medida del universo. Con este dolor y este amor indecibles, Toni Morrison, premio Nobel de literatura, construye una novela vibrante y sobria, donde cada palabra tiene color propio, para narrar la epopeya en blanco y negro de todo un pueblo condenado a escoger entre la esclavitud y la muerte.

A Story For The Hopeful
This was the best book that I have ever read. The passion, the beauty and the emotions, just encapsulates the reader page after page. Morrison seamlessly combines Pain with Joy, History with Fiction, and Disgust with Beauty. I cant say that everyone should read this book, because it is defiantly a 'mature' book, but for those who are mature enough to handle it, they should read it. Most certainly every mother should read it. An Amazing book!

The best American writer ever!
An excellent, though difficcult, read. Certainly one of the best books on slavery and segregation: portrays the black psychological experience so well that I, a white man, almost felt black myselk. The prose is fantastically delightful; the structure of the story is as crafty as ever, oscilatting back and forth between past and present, reality and surrealism; and it's rich in symbolism and it's complex underlying theme is enlightening.

A Difficult Read
Beloved is a book that is often found on reading lists for high school students. I read it because our book club felt it was a classic that should be read. It was a difficult book to read because you were never sure what was real. It was a story that needed to be told about slavery, but the use of the supernatural made it hard to understand. The book club agreed that it was good that we read it but would not suggest it to our friends.
