Takes place in Harlem during the 1920s; as the pasts of the various characters are explored, the narrative extends back to the mid-19th-century American South. It forms the second part of Morrison's trilogy on African-American history, beginning with "Beloved" (1987) and ending with "Paradise" (1998).
