America’s most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni
Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this
twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured
story about one man’s desperate search for himself in a
world disfigured by war.
Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean
War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines,
finds himself back in racist America with more than just
physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is
shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue
his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the
small Georgia town they come from and that he’s hated all
his life. As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and
the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he
discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never
possess again.
A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man
finding his manhood—and his home.
