With her loss of any connection‚ intimacy with

My favorite text was by far Sula‚ by Toni Morrison. This novel was one that I understood well‚ including the metaphors‚ plot‚ character development‚ and more. Sula as a whole was very interesting to me. After just a few chapters‚ I couldn’t put the book down. The storyline was very compelling‚ as were a lot of the characters.

I believe this to be true simply because some managers and
