The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison`s first novel, a book heralded for its richness of language and boldness of vision. Set in the author`s girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves` garden do not bloom. Pecola`s life does change- in painful, devastating ways.
What its vivid evocation of the fear and loneliness at the heart of a child`s yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. The Bluest Eye remains one of Toni Morrisons`s most powerful, unforgettable novels- and a significant work of American fiction.
