Rainer a publié une critique de The Bluest Eye par Toni Morrison

Not a pleasant book, but very well written

4 étoiles

Toni Morrison weaves a story that deals heavily with the topic of beauty. There were some scenes in this book that were incredibly difficult to read, including scenes of the sexual assault of children. Toni Morrison is a really talented writer, and this book packs a serious punch.
