The Bluest Eye

By Toni Morrison

Published in 1994, Ms Morrison's first novel, and recommended by Oprah's Book Club, Bluest Eye is a convoluted tale of angst, prejudice, and pain, the story of Pecola Breedlove, black and eleven years old.

Be sure to read the Afterword by the author as she explains and clarifies her writing.

I can't say I enjoyed reading Pecola's tale but it certainly made me think and feel, not a bad thing.
