Sula by Toni Morrison

As promised, here is another book to add to your summer reading, if you have never had a chance to sit down and read this great piece. Toni Morrison presents some memorable characters in this novel.  Morrison’s works are deeply layered, and one of the most fascinating layers is the examination of the relationships between women, whether it is a mother and her daughter, or two friends.   This is definitely a must read, and we would love to hear your thoughts on the novel. 

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood, summer reading

I said I was going to post book recommendations for folks to read throughout the summer, and this is my first one.

Margaret Atwood is a brilliant writer, and in this dystopian novel she writes about a society that is very restrictive towards women and how that came into being. It is great read, and Margaret Atwood is very thorough in how she creates a setting and establishes her characters.
