Song of Solomon

By Toni Morrison

About this book

Milkman Dead grows up surrounded by family stories he barely understands. A search that begins with the promise of gold takes him from Michigan to the South, where songs and names begin to reveal what his relatives have kept from him. Morrison makes the mystery of one family’s past a story about who gets to remember and who gets to leave.
