Home

I read Home by Toni Morrison which is a very dark tale about an African-American Korean War veteran, Frank Money, who returns home to rescue his sister from a terrible situation.  Frank and his family were driven from their home in the 1930s and were scratching out a living when Frank and his close friends went to war.  The reader learns about his war service and a dark and shameful secret which haunts him.  On his return he has a relationship and then he finds his sister and returns home.  This slim volume is very well-written, but haunting. 4/5
