Sula
New York: Bantam, 1981. The elusive Bantam paperback of Sula by Toni Morrison with exceptional cover art. The only copy we have ever handled in person and the nicest copy we have ever seen for sale. Unread. Fine condition.
In Sula, Toni Morrison explores the intertwined lives of two childhood companions, Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who come of age in the fictional town of Medallion, Ohio. Their bond, forged in youth, is strong enough to survive cruelty, hardship, and a harrowing shared secret. As the years pass, Nel becomes a respected figure in her community, while Sula takes a radically different path, earning scorn and suspicion.
Though life sends them in opposite directions, the connection between them refuses to fade—until it is tested by a devastating act of betrayal. Both heartbreaking and darkly humorous, Sula offers a powerful reflection on friendship, identity, and the choices that shape us.
