From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: Two girls who grow up to become
women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. This
brilliantly imagined novel brings us the story of Nel Wright and Sula
Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio.
Nel and Sula's devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the
burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to
be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But
their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal--or does it end?
Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows
with life.
