About this product

Product Information

The Bluest Eye (1970) is the first novel written by Toni Morrison. It is the story of eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

    A Must-Read that Stands the Test of Time

    A thought provoking novel. Beautifully written. It may not be perfection, but whatever it lacks it more than makes up for in bravery. Tony Morrison's afterward in this release is reflective and also gives valuable insight.

  • A girl wanted to be accepted in society.

    This is one of Toni Morrison's early works and it is interesting to compare it to her other works. Its psychological implications depict how the character's background affected her life.

  • Bluest Eye

    This was an amazing book that chronicled the life of a little black girl who didn't have a great support system at home in the 1950s. So what does she do? She turns to the media and her surroundings, yet everything in life at the time, run by whites, is white. So therefore all the little girl wants is to have blue eyes and blonde hair and she pretty much rejects who she is. Enticing book.

  • The Bluest Eye

    A wonderful book . It was a required reading for my Women's Studies class, but I could not put it down. It is an easy, but at times disturbing read, just for the mere fact of issues being discussed. It was very eye-opening, and puts many issues on the table. Recommend it!
