Review of 'The Bluest Eye' on 'Goodreads'

As Toni lays out, "I focused, therefore, on how something as grotesque as the demonization of an entire race could take root inside the most delicate member of society: a child; the most vulnerable member: a female."

A truly devastating book in almost every regard.
