Line 19:
In 1873, during the aftermath of slavery and [[The American Civil War]], a ghost haunts 124 Bluestone Road. Sethe and her youngest daughter Denver live with the ghost of a vengeful dead baby (Sethe's firstborn daughter) until the arrival of Paul D, an old acquaintance from Sethe's past days as a slave. After Paul D chases away the spirit and situates himself into their lives, it appears as though Sethe finally has a chance at stability and happiness. However, this changes when a beautiful young woman in a pretty hat emerges from nowhere and magics her way into 124.
''Beloved'' is not your typical ghost story. It is, however, a complex character study filled to the brim with [[Tear Jerker|tragedy]], examinations of horrific historical injustices, the pain caused by slavery, the bonds between mothers and daughters, and [[Mind Screw|Mind Screws]]
Was cited as one of the books instrumental in Morrison winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993.
