“My lonely is mine… Your lonely is somebody else’s. Made by somebody else and handed to you. Ain’t that something? A second hand lonely.”

Toni Morrison has a way with words. Beautiful and eerie, a story that follows two friends on divergent paths of womanhood — one taking on traditional roles and one taking a path of rebellion and unconventional. An American classic that reflects on friendship, gender and regret.
