Corregidora

‘No novel about any Black woman could ever be the same after this’ said Toni Morrison of this 1975 masterpiece. Blues singer Ursa is consumed by her hatred of Corregidora, the nineteenth-century slave master who fathered both her mother and grandmother. Haunted by the ghosts of a Brazilian plantation and pained by the fractured relationships of her present, she must come to terms with her own womanhood.
