About Paradise by Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison’s Paradise centers on Ruby, an insular Black community in Oklahoma, and the women living at the Convent nearby. A violent visit to the Convent frames a narrative that brings together the town’s history, its residents, and the women whose lives become entwined with theirs.
As the story unfolds, the community’s memory of slavery and its ancestors’ sacrifices sits alongside the individual histories of its townspeople. Readers drawn to literary fiction about the complicated lives of a community, and to narratives with a broad cast of interconnected characters, may find this novel especially compelling.
