Milkman Dead grows up in a Michigan household organised around his father's property and his aunt's refusal to live by it, then travels south to find out where the family name came from.
Toni Morrison threads the story through a legend of flight, tracking four generations of an African American family whose history has been part erased and part mythologised. Pilate, the aunt who carries her own name in an earring, holds the book's moral weight, while a search for buried gold turns into a search for ancestry. This RHUK hardcover runs 448 pages and is solid enough for repeated study use.
