Summary
An impoverished young black girl yearns for her eyes to turn blue so that she will become beautiful and her world will be transformed, in the first novel by the 1993 Nobel Laureate. Read by Toni Morrison.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: THE BLUEST EYE chronicles the tragic, torn lives of a poor black family in 1940s Ohio: Pauline, Cholly, Sam and Pecola. Pecola, unlovely and unloved, prays each night for blue eyes like those of her privileged blond white schoolfellows. She becomes the focus of the mingled love and hatred engendered by her family's frailty and the world's cruelty as the novel moves toward a savage but poignant resolution.
