Sula and Nel are born in the Bottomâa small town at the
top of a hill. Sula is wild, and daring; she does what she wants, while Nel is
well-mannered, a mammaâs girl with a questioning heart. Growing up they forge a
bond stronger than anything, stronger even than the dark secret they have to
bear. Strong enough, it seems, to last a lifetimeâuntil, decades later, as the
girls become women, Sulaâs anarchy leads to a betrayal that may be beyond
forgiveness.Â
One of The Atlanticâs Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
Masterful, richly textured, bittersweet, and vital, Sula is a
modern masterpiece about love and kinship, about living in an America birthed
from slavery. Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison gives life to characters who
struggle with what society tells them to be, and the love they long for and
crave as Black women. Most of all, they ask: When can we let go? What must we
hold back? And just how much can be shared in a friendship?
