  • "Sula and Nel are both black, both smart, and both poor. Through their girlhood years, they share everything. All this changes when Sula gets out of the Bottom, the hilltop neighborhood where there hides a fierce resentment at the invisible line that cannot be overstepped. Sula leaps over the line to roam the cities of America. After ten years, she returns to the Bottom. But Nel is a wife now, with her man and her children. She belongs. Not Sula. Nel can no longer understand her, and the others never did. Sula scares them. Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, mad world in which that bond is destroyed."@en

Nel Wright grows up to become a wife and mother, happy to remain in her hometown of Medallion, Ohio. Sula Peace leaves to experience college, men, and life in the big city, an exceptional choice for a black woman to make in the late 1920s. When Nel and Sula meet again as adults, it's clear that Nel has chosen a life of acceptance and accommodation, while Sula must fight to defend her seemingly unconventional choices and beliefs. But regardless of the physical and emotional distance that threatens this extraordinary friendship, the bond between the women remains unbreakable."@en

  • ""This novel is 'ostensibly about two black girls, friends who age into a tortured maturity. But one suspects that the author is as concerned with place as with people; the black hill settlement, high above an Ohio river, emerges as a third protagonist. "Maybe it hadn't been a community, but it had been a place." It is a place which Morrison's spare, evocative prose limns with a bleak nostalgia ... The sociology of "Sula" is unobtrusive but unrelenting. Morrison is a novelist of impressive control and deceptive simplicity, and "Sula" is a good book.'" Choic."@en
