Sula

Author: Toni Morrison

Editorial review of the book

Sula is a masterpiece by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, a poignant and lyrical tale about women, friendship, freedom, and the pain that comes with deviating from social expectations. Set in the African-American community of the fictional town of Medallion, Ohio, the novel follows two girls—Nel and Sula—who grow up together but are gradually separated by life and placed on opposite sides of morality, identity, and choice.

Sula is an unyielding, free-thinking, and courageous woman who defies all social norms—which is why the community labels her dangerous, even malicious. Nel, on the other hand, embodies what society expects of her—order, respect for rules, stability. But beneath the surface of both lies the question: what does it mean to be true to oneself? And how much freedom does society actually allow women who dare to take it?

Morrison writes with the density of poetry and the depth of psychological insight, creating characters who are wild, vulnerable, and unforgettable.
Sula is a novel about inner turmoil, unspoken pain, and the complex beauty of human relationships.

This short novel carries the weight of entire lives—and still sounds powerfully relevant today.
