Beloved. First UK edition, signed by the author on the title page. Inspired by a true story, the book earned Toni Morrison the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A film adaptation starring Oprah Winfrey was released in 1998.Margaret Atwood described the work as "another triumph" and praised Morrison's "versatility and technical and emotional range [which] appear to know no bounds... Beloved is written in an antiminimalist prose that is by turns rich, graceful, eccentric, rough, lyrical, sinuous, colloquial and very much to the point" (New York Times).
