Toni Morrison is a great author. I read her most famous novel Beloved, which is quite a heart-wrenching story.
assistant
Yes, that's probably one of her better known works. Did she have many other famous works?
user
Well, she wrote a few more novels, but her best known works probably include The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, Paradise, and Jazz. But I'm not sure which of her novels you would enjoy the most.
assistant
Tell me about The Bluest Eye.
user
I thought you'd like that one. It’s about a little girl named Pecola Breedlove, who is in love with blue eyes and tries to do everything she can to obtain blue eyes, by making blue eye cream, etc. The story is tragic, because she doesn’t get the blue eyes she wants, and even has to cover her own eyes. She ends up feeling frustrated and degraded.

Some of that sounds a little strange. I know it took place during the Great depression.
