Ilustration To Books Home

America's most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man's desperate search for himself in a world disfigured by war.

Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from and that he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never possess again.

A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and his home.

Piece About Books Home

A new novel by Toni Morrison is always cause for celebration in my world. In her tenth novel, she follows the life of Frank Money who escaped from his small Georgia town by joining the army, as so many disenfranchised young men have done. He fought in the Korean War and returned to America traumatized and troubled, only to find the same old racism under which he had always lived. Adrift, half crazy, he gets a message that his only sibling is at death's door. So he leaves the only person who has

Haunted by events in the Korean War, Frank Money is trying to see how he fits back in America. It's especially hard being a troubled black man in a racist society. He has bad memories of his hometown with indifferent, overworked parents and an emotionally abusive stepgrandmother. During their childhood, he was the rock that his younger sister Cee could depend on. When she is gravely ill, he brings her back to their Georgia hometown for healing by a group of independent, caring women. Frank also

I don't feel qualified to critique a novel by Toni Morrison, but I do have an opinion about this book, however uninformed I might be concerning literature of this nature. The book was brief, only 147 pages, but it still managed to lose its focus by widening its lens too much. The book starts out with a traumatic experience for both Frank and his sister, Cee, when they were children, then moves on to Frank's life as an adult. He is a Korean war veteran who joined the army with his friends to

Toni Morrisons new novel, Home, begins with two children witnessing a man being buried presumably alive. Its a strong opening. We could not see the faces of the men doing the burying, only their trousers; but we saw the edge of a spade drive the jerking foot down to join the rest of itself. But its also a testament to this unsubtle books endless litany of atrocities that by the end, Id almost totally forgotten about the man being buried alive. Think about that for a moment: the book is a mere

At this point I've read all of TM's novels, save one -- Paradise -- and that was a novel I at least started and wanted to get through but life got in the way. (Maybe, also, I'd gotten far enough to know it wasn't going to be my scene). As well, I've seen her read three times -- once from A Mercy a year before it was published and again shortly after it was released, with the memories of that earlier reading still ringing fresh in my ears. The final time I heard her read it was from this novel,

Nobel Prize winner, Toni Morrison, has a tremendous gift for writing novels that possess an 'in your face' quality. She takes the African American experience throughout United States history and forces you to really SEE and FEEL that experience .... no matter the discomfort it causes or the sense of horror and revulsion you feel. In her novel, Home, she writes a story about angry and dejected Korean War veteran , Frank Money and his younger sister, Cee. This story, Frank and Cee's story, doesn't

A marvoulous novel of coming home and going full circle. Raised in rural Georiga. Drafted into the Vietnam war. Returning, after the war, to save his sister realizing life and love is where it all begins. Going through racial hatred, self-hatred, and the dangerous of life. A must read. Toni Morrison writing is vibrant, vivid, and powerful. A must buy and read for all times. A Must Read For Everyone. A must read.
