Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery， this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe， its protagonist， was born a slave and escaped to Ohio， but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home， the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby， who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word： Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope， Beloved is a towering achievement.
无所畏惧地直视奴隶制的深渊，这本引人入胜的小说将历史写成如《出埃及记》一样强大，如摇篮曲一般亲密的故事。女主角黑奴Sethe逃到俄亥俄，虽然这已是18年前的往事，但往事的梦魇一刻也不曾停止过对她的纠缠。新家时常鬼魂出没，而那死去的婴儿无名无姓，墓碑上只刻着：宠儿。全书充满苦涩的诗意和紧张的悬念，是一部巅峰之作。
