I don't like to watch movies about ghosts or read scary stories so I was unsure about how I would like Beloved. The book is so much more than a ghost story. It's about the horrible things humans have done to one another, and the ways we can heal and keep on living. Apart from the plot, the writing is beautiful. I've seen this novel described as "epic prose" and I completely agree.

Very disturbing but also very interesting about issues surrounding slavery in the US before and after the US Civil War. Get ready for ghosts, reincarnations, and infanticide. People who are prone to nightmares should not read this.
