In observance of Banned Books Week, we will be discussing The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison this month. New members always welcome! Copies may be available at the Ask Desk.
Synopsis: In 1941, Black, 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. Morrison’s first novel vividly evokes the fear and loneliness of a child’s yearning.
