Book Description:
2 cassettes / 3 hours
Read by Lynn Whitfield
Beloved is also available Unabridged, read by the author, Toni Morrison
"An extraordinary novel." -The New York Times
Toni Morrison's magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel brings the unimaginable experience of slavery into our comprehension. Set in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, it is the story of Sethe, an escaped slave, who has risked her life in order to wrench herself from living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad. Sethe, who now lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing apparition who calls herself Beloved.
Profoundly affecting, this is one of Toni Morrison's greatest novels - a dazzling and spellbinding achievement.

As with the ghost at its center, Beloved has taken many forms--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to Oprah Winfrey's decade-in-the-making movie to this challenging audiobook read by Lynn Whitfield. Whitfield, who won an Emmy Award playing the title role in The Josephine Baker Story, has a tough assignment as she guides us back and forth in time with Sethe, an escaped slave who's still shackled by memories of her murdered child

Suzanne B. wrote on 6/4/2007...Haunting, well-written (and spoken!) story about the strength and limitations of a mother's love.
