From Amazon.com

In Sula, Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for literature, tells the story of two women--friends since childhood, separated in young adulthood, and reunited as grown women. Nel Wright grows up to become a wife and mother, happy to remain in her hometown of Medallion, Ohio. Sula Peace leaves Medallion to experience college, men, and life in the big city, an exceptional choice for a black woman to make in the late 1920s.

As girls, Nel and Sula are the best of friends, only children who find in each other a kindred spirit to share in each girl's loneliness and imagination. When they meet again as adults, it's clear that Nel has chosen a life of acceptance and accommodation, while Sula must fight to defend her seemingly unconventional choices and beliefs. But regardless of the physical and emotional distance that threatens this extraordinary friendship, the bond between the women remains unbreakable: "Her old friend had come home.... Sula, whose past she had lived through and with whom the present was a constant sharing of perceptions. Talking to Sula had always been a conversation with herself."

Lyrical and gripping, Sula is an honest look at the power of friendship amid a backdrop of family, love, race, and the human condition. --Gisele Toueg

From Library Journal

Hearing an author read her own work creates a special ambiance. To hear Morrison read a short, unabridged novel published 24 years ago, to hear in her voice how much she still values the writing, well, who could ask for more? The only drawback is that Morrison, while very much in tune with her characters, often lets her voice drop to a whisper, making these tapes difficult to listen to while driving and almost impossible on a highway with the window open. On the page, Sula is one of her more clearly defined novels?the friendship and later hatred that envelopes the lives of two black women from "the bottom"?but the imagistic nature of the writing means listeners may have to replay passages if they want to follow the action. A small price to pay for a masterpiece.?Rochelle Ratner, formerly with "Soho Weekly News," New York

5.0étoiles sur 5 Enchanting and Compelling Masterpiece, Mars 20 2007
Par E. Haensel (Toronto) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sula (Paperback)
Toni Morrison's second book, Sula, is a short beautifully written story about the nature of freedom in early and mid-century america: the nature of freedom , that is, for an African-American woman. In subtle and powerful ways Morrison shows how racism and sexism shape the roles and possibilities of female blacks in america. She shows how women bear these roles, and faced with no other option, live with a grace and dignified quietism.

In to the midst of this she introduces the character of Sula, easily one of the most memorable characters every to grace the pages of an American novel. Sula lives for herself, to find herself, to be herself; and it turns everything on its head.

The novel is lighter in tone than some of Morrison's later masterpieces and yet with stunning economy of language and unforgetable characters she creates a full and challenging portrait of a community that is both a pleasure to read and unforgetable.

If you haven't read Morrison, this is probably the best place to start. If you have, then this is another wonderful novel, easily one of her best!

Par Un client
This review is from: Sula (Audio Cassette)
I believe that this book really shows Toni Morrison's genius because she is able to combine several different themes into one book without it becoming confusing. I also like how she has main character for chapters, but gives justice to Sula throughout the book. I enjoyed how the book was metaphorical because it put importance on the different aspects of the book; like the characters, the role of religion, and the community as a whole. I truly enjoyed this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of her best, Déc 7 2003
This review is from: Toni Morrison's Sula (Library Binding)
Perhaps for the use of a few words in each line, an economy that always brings grandeur to a work of fiction, Toni Morrison makes one visit the black town of Medallion Hall and meet Sula and Nel, two young girls whose lives are going to take the rest of the book to explain. Not as the difficulty I found reading Jazz, as Gabriel Garcia Marquez`s No one writes to the Colonel and The Old Man and the Sea, Morrison shows a wonderful mastership of the written art. I recommend it as a tender, human book. Undoubtely one of Morrison`s best works.
