ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Beloved, by Toni Morrison, tells the story of Sethe, a formerly enslaved woman haunted by the ghost of her baby daughter at her home at 124. The novel explores the devastating legacy of slavery and its impact on memory, trauma, and identity. Sethe struggles to reconcile her past at Sweet Home and her present at 124, while trying to find a safe future for herself and her daughter Denver. The arrival of a mysterious young woman, Beloved, intensifies the haunting and forces Sethe to confront her past. The narrative explores themes of motherhood, community, and the desperate need to love one's own flesh in a world that has devalued it.
