Description Supposing Books Tar Baby

Ravishingly beautiful and emotionally incendiary, Tar Baby is Toni Morrison’s reinvention of the love story. Jadine Childs is a black fashion model with a white patron, a white boyfriend, and a coat made out of ninety perfect sealskins. Son is a black fugitive who embodies everything she loathes and desires. As Morrison follows their affair, which plays out from the Caribbean to Manhattan and the deep South, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between blacks and whites, masters and servants, and men and women.

I also found the dialogue sparky and often humorous, the tone frequently lightSo is it a light book? Noooooo of course not. From the

Re-read this for a little litery refreshment and I just feel like Toni can do no wrong.
