![]() I always like the rebel women and I think she is exactly that. ![]() I read this book as a story of many tensions, tensions between couples, tensions about old secrets, race, responsibilities, and dreams.įor me, the most important character in this book is Jadine. A sailor, Son, who has abandoned ship, enters their lives and that's when things get interesting. In this novel we meet retired rich American Valerian Street living on the L'Isle des Chevaliers with his much younger wife, Margaret, two African-American servants and their niece, Jadine, who is visiting from France. It turns out that like with most Toni Morrison books, it's impossible to summarize everything there's just too much to talk about. I think the tropical Caribbean setting and all the talk of candy and flowers fooled me into thinking that this would be one of Toni Morrison's simpler reads. ![]() Too much foliage and much too much sleep."- Toni Morrison, Tar Baby ![]()
