深入刻劃母女間的掙扎，讓人落淚的家庭故事
Bride是位成功的職場女性，她的黝黑肌膚是她美麗的證明；而她的自信更讓人無法別開雙眼，但誰也不知道，她的母親Sweetness卻從小否決她的存在，甚至不願意愛這個女兒。
Bride癡心愛著Booker，但他也傷透了她的心，而當神秘白人小孩White出現她面前時，痛苦的過往傷疤再度掀起，而失職的母親該如何領悟到，她傷害女兒的行為，又該如何彌補？（文/博客來編輯）
Spare and unsparing, God Help the Child—the first novel by Toni Morrison to be set in our current moment—weaves a tale about the way the sufferings of childhood can shape, and misshape, the life of the adult.
At the center: a young woman who calls herself Bride, whose stunning blue-black skin is only one element of her beauty, her boldness and confidence, her success in life, but which caused her light-skinned mother to deny her even the simplest forms of love. There is Booker, the man Bride loves, and loses to anger. Rain, the mysterious white child with whom she crosses paths. And finally, Bride’s mother herself, Sweetness, who takes a lifetime to come to understand that “what you do to children matters. And they might never forget.”
A fierce and provocative novel that adds a new dimension to the matchless oeuvre of Toni Morrison.
