Books

The first UK edition of Morrison's first novel. Bottom corners bumped with associated creasing to the jacket at these corners. Still near fine. Not price-clipped; no other markings.

The Bluest Eye is the first novel written by Toni Morrison. It was published in 1970 and is set in Lorain, Ohio, Morrison's hometown. The story is about Pecola Breedlove, an African-American girl who prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be considered beautiful and gain the affection and acceptance of her community.
