Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for
beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair, and
brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for normalcy, for the
blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to
finally fit in.Yet as her dream grows more fervent, her life slowly
starts to disintegrate in the face of adversity and strife. A
powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity,
Toni Morrison's virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about
race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have
always characterized her writing.
