"In PARADISE - her first novel since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - Toni Morrison gives us a bravura performance. [...] As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop.360), in defense of 'the one all-black town worth the pain,' assault the nearby Convent and all women in it. [...] Richly imagined and elegantly composed, PARADISE weaves a powerful mystery."
