LWD Book Club ~ The Bluest Eye

June 1, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

The past several days have been fraught with emotion. As I pondered this month’s book club selection I felt the need to choose a book that at least on some level might offer some perspective. The Bluest Eye is one of those books I’ve always meant to read but somehow never did. This seems like a good time to correct that.

JUNE BOOK CLUB SELECTION

 

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

The Bluest Eye book cover

It is the story of eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove — a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others — who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

    I’ve only ever read one of her books (“Beloved” if you’re interested). Definitely an author who makes you think.

      Many years ago when I was working as a hospice nurse and traveling a lot, I listened to audiobooks in my car all the time. I borrowed that one from the library to listen to. However, I also had my kids with me in the car a lot and would continue whatever I was listening to when they were with me. I quickly realized that one wasn’t going to be appropriate for little kids. I never got around to reading it after that. I think I even have a paperback copy that I picked up at a library book sale years ago. I really should read it.
