Title: also love of self
Review: More than anything this is my comment about how that teenage? girl is suddenly driven into accepting herself when the boy kisses her toe and accepts her deformity. How that instantly changes her, breaks down her wall of defence, and in the process probably also leaving her less mysterios and therefore less attractive in that darkly sexual manner.For me that was one of the highlights while reading the book. It is very insightful of Toni to write around the event the way she did.Overall, and compared to other books by her, it's a story that left me feeling warm, almost the same way Song of Solomon did, not too depressed the way Beloved did. It is also much easier to read through, not becasue it's a simple and easy story to tell but maybe because Toni really wanted readers to enjoy the book and at the same time take something from her thoughts.So thumbs up to love.... and to South Africa for winning the soccer world cup bid, if you don't mind!
