Description

Recommend A...
 …Book Someone Else Recommended to You.



Lots of the books I read have been recommended to me by other bloggers. However, the book that came to mind was one recommended by my English teacher whilst I was at school.


Title: 'The Bluest Eye'
Author: Toni Morrison


I am really grateful to my teacher for recommending this book to me as it started my love of Toni Morrison and meant I was exposed to history and issues I might not have thought as much about otherwise. Morrison writes a lot about slavery and black women and feminism which I find so interesting, if heartbreaking. I have just recently passed this book on to my sister so hopefully she'll think I made a good recommendation too!
