The Bluest Eye (Vintage International)

by Toni Morrison

The Bluest Eye (Vintage International) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair, and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for normalcy, for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.Yet as her dream grows more fervent, her life slowly starts to disintegrate in the face of adversity and strife. A powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity, Toni Morrison’s virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have always characterized her writing.

Review:

“So precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry.”

The New York Times

Review:

“This story commands attention, for it contains one black girl’s universe.”

Newsweek

Synopsis:

First published in 1970 by Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature, the novel tells the story of 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove, the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.
