Sula

Sula and Nel-both smart, both poor, raised in a small Ohio town-meet when they are twelve. Through their girlhood years they share everything, until Sula gets out, out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where beneath the surface hides a fierce resentment at failed crops, lost jobs, bug-ridden flour. . .
In a clear, dark, resonant language, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people.
Beautifully read by Toni Morrison, Sula is an audio to treasure.
