Song of Solomon

A Novel

De: Toni Morrison

Narrado por: Toni Morrison

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An official Oprah Winfrey’s “The Books That Help Me Through” selection • The acclaimed Nobel Prize winner transfigures the coming-of-age story with this brilliantly imagined novel. Includes a new foreword by the author.

Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. As Morrison follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, she introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized Black world.

“Morrison moves easily in and out of the lives and thoughts of her characters, luxuriating in the diversity of circumstances and personality, and revelling in the sound of their voices and of her own, which echoes and elaborates theirs.” —The New Yorker

Narrator

I read this book years ago and loved it. I love Toni Morrison. I do not love that she narrates her books. It’s like a turn off. It makes the boom seem drawn out and I’m only in the first chapter. I strongly suggest she not narrate. The voice is not becoming at all. So sorry. Great author but her voice has left the narrating life.

read this book

TONI MORRISON READING THIS TEXT IS LIKE HOURS OF MY SOUL COMING HOME. Reading this book changed how I see my own identity and increased my compassion. A thrilling, heartbreaking, beautiful tale

Awesome and Captivating!

I absolutely loved this book. it took me a min to get used to the narrator's voices but soon learned that it was perfect for the story told. The story was very interesting and I did not want it to come to an end.

Couldn't Put it Down

What a novel! And how amazing to hear it narrated in Morrison's own voice. Loved it!

Great story! Love the dialogue!

The narrator seemed to add punctuation where there aught to be none. It gor better after a while, or maybe I stopped noticing.

literary masterpiece!

love the style and grace of the writting. the education regarding black culture is exquisite. the level of detail and character development is a true treasure... When you leave a piece knowing the characters is a true Gift!

One of the best

I absolutely love reading and hearing Toni Morrison read this book. She is a genius storyteller. Its nothing like hearing the intention of her words when she reads this. I couldn't stop listening. I will listen to it again. One of the most poetic parts is the very last sentence. This is a great book for every young black person to read. It is very important. Thank you Toni Morrison, ase'o!!

Awesome narration!

I’ve read the reviews that faulted her as a narrator. I think the book is so powerful in her voice. As for the book itself, many times I stopped and said, what a writer! I’m thinking of listening again, as it is like a long, beautiful song.

Never disappoints!

Literally one of my favorite books all time every time !!!!!! Every man and woman should read this book! A great story about the importance of finding out your history &your lineage, and how it can truly heal strong ties in families
