Character-driven rather than plot-driven, the genius of this story lies in the distinct voices Morrison has created for each of her narrators. From the struggling young farmer yearning for riches to the black girl he reluctantly accepts as payment for a debt, from the mad castaway taken into his household for pity to the wife he accepted sight unseen, from the quiet slave who mothers them all to the black freeman whose coming unhinges them all, each voice tells part of the story.
