A review by abaugher
God Help the Child by Toni Morrison

5.0

Morrison lays before the reader multiple travesties that are so insidious, so very widespread, so extremely prevalent as to be invisible to our society, yet all the symptoms are there. But she does it in language, inside a story, that everyone can understand. This is not a book to be ignored, just as the events in it are not to be ignored, and the events in all our lives are not to be ignored, anymore. It is time to pay attention to the ugly underbelly of our culture, our world, to bring it out in the open and heal it.
