Overwhelming, prestige, contemplative and meticulous.
14 profiled raters. Loved most by The Provocateurs.
The only novel I have read that seems to have been written from inside a wound. Morrison does not explain; she insists. Five stars, and I am stingy.
A few lines from each review; the whole review is on the critic's site. Not part of Taste Buds's numbers.
