About this listen

From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. This brilliantly imagined novel brings us the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio.

Nel and Sula's 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, Sula is a work that overflows with life.

Critic Reviews

“Extravagantly beautiful. . . . Enormously, achingly alive. . . . A howl of love and rage, playful and funny as well as hard and bitter.” —The New York Times

“Exemplary. . . . The essential mysteries of death and sex, friendship and poverty are expressed with rare economy.” —Newsweek

“In characters like Sula, Toni Morrison’s originality and power emerge.” —The Nation

Wish I had read the book

The author’s writing is so beautiful and packs life into an otherwise normal story. I similes used by the author stand out and shines bright. While loved the author’s voice, I just couldn’t hear her right as she is sounded very feeble. I would have enjoyed the book better had I read it.

GIRLHOOD

the first half of the book was absolutely delightful-the experience of girlhood in such circumstances was lovely to read.
the second half was interesting for me but a little underwhelming, idk i was expecting something like beloved? or not? i don't know, probably my lack. but liked it overall.
