Sethe's husband, who must help her, disappeared. After left Ohio and escape to Cincinatti with her four children, Sethe enjoyed only twenty-eight days of independence because she was tracked down by her old master. Sethe thought that Rather than allowing her children to return to slavery, she attempts to kill them. Sethe succeeded in killing her baby girl. Her master rejected her, as she was no longer fit to serve; Sethe was saved from hanging and was released to live with her remaining three children at 124. And Sethe's home is disturbed by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is carved with one word: Beloved.
Filled with suspense, Beloved is a gigantic achievement. This is Toni Morrison's greatest novel, an amazing achievement, and the most fascinating reading experience of the decade. A viciously powerful, gripping story read it and enjoy.
