It is through their eyes we see the clashes that have defined a nation.''When Morrison writes at her best, you can feel the workings of history through her prose'' Hilary Mantel, Spectator''Morrison almost single-handedly took American fiction forward in the second half of the 20th century, to a place where it could finally embrace the subtleties and contradictions of the great stain of race which has blighted the republic since its inception'' Caryl Phillips, GuardianBY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF BELOVED**Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction**
