""Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don't seem to come close to explaining her"" Guardian ""Love is a brilliant book... Into a short narrative she packs mystery, suspense and a multi-stranded tale told with extraordinary deftness"" Financial Times ""This is a novel that demands to be read at least twice, for it is so rich and satisfying that it sweeps you into a subtle world that you need time to take in... Quite breathtaking"" Daily Mail ""Love's power lies in the luminosity and energy of its poetic images"" Observer ""Love is her best work yet, a slender but mesmerising tale"" Evening Standard
