If you have never read anything from Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, start here. Winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1987, Beloved is central to Morrison's oeuvre and has become one of the most-taught novels in America, a true classic in every sense. Inspired by the life of Margaret Garner, it is the story of a woman named Sethe in 1870s Ohio, raising her daughter Denver in a house haunted by the memory of her first daughter, who died when Sethe tried to escape slavery. She is known only by the name on her tombstone, Beloved, but when a young woman answering to that name appears, Sethe sacrifices all she has for a chance to love the daughter she had lost.
