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

This book passed the time, but it didn’t engage me. Perhaps the characters were thin, the pace was off, or the plot was lacking. I wouldn’t recommend it, and it is unlikely I will try anything else by the author.
