This engaging summary presents an analysis of Beloved by Toni Morrison, which tells the story of Sethe, a former slave who was prepared to commit a horrific crime rather than be forced back into slavery with her children. The novel explores the aftermath of her actions, and starkly illustrates the devastation wreaked by the institution of slavery and the legacy of trauma it left for African-American families. Toni Morrison is one of America's most acclaimed living writers, having received awards including the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize in Literature in the course of her decades-long career.
