Toni Morrison's first book, The Bluest Eye, was praised for its audacious vision and exquisite language. It is set in Lorain, Ohio, the author's childhood home, and it narrates the narrative of eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove, who is black. Pecola begs for her eyes to become blue in order to have the same beauty and affection as all the blond, blue-eyed kids in America. The Breedloves' garden is devoid of marigold blooms in the fall of 1941. Pecola's life does alter, but it does so in a terrible manner.
How well it captures the anguish and terror that lie at the core of a child's desire, as well as the tragedy that results from realizing it. One of Toni Morrisons's most potent and enduring books, The Bluest Eye is still regarded as a major piece of American literature.
