He licked his lips. ‘Well, if you want my opinion-‘
‘I don’t,‘ she said. ‘I have my own.'
― Toni Morrison

The book is sitting in my pile of books to read, and I've included it because it is a notable example of the author's work. (Perhaps an early example, a change in style or a prize-winner). But I haven't read it, so I can't rate or recommend it.
