Byram Lunch Bunch Book Club: The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
This month's selection is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Set in Morrison’s hometown of Lorain, Ohio, in 1940–41, the novel tells the tragic story of Pecola Breedlove, an African American girl from an abusive home. Eleven-year-old Pecola equates beauty and social acceptance with whiteness; she therefore longs to have “the bluest eye.”
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Byram Shubert Library.
