L'oeil le plus bleu

In Lorin, Ohio, in the 1940s, two black girls grow up side by side. The first hates blonde dolls. The other idolater Shirley Temple and dreams of having blue eyes. But in the face of the fierce reality of a White America, a girl's dream of beauty is a lure that only gives way to madness. Toni Morrison's first striking novel. "All the essential themes of her work are there, in this novel where women are the guardians of an identity that is mistreated in a hostile land where the daisies do not grow."
