"Beloved" by Toni Morrison (67-126 pp)

Denver had her little houseplay, that she found one Christmas day hidden by post oaks. First a playroom (where the silince was softer), then a refuge (from her brothers' fear), soon it became the place where Denver's thoughts had no doardes. So one autumn day being in the boxwood, the girl felt the parfume on her skin, caused by sudden wind, and following it, Denver saw her mother standing in the middle of the room on her knees in prayer, but that wasn't unusual.The girl noticed a white dress was near to Sethe and had its sleeve around her waist. That time Denver remembered her mother's words "when everything dead coming back to life hurts," that's why the girl thought that the ghost was in pain and had a plan.

When Denver had told her mother about that white dress, Sethe remembered her widing dress, her former life in the Sweet Home, and her daughter's death after which she stopped distinguishing colors. Only with Paul D's appearence their life changed, as he lived his life to the full. And one later afternoon, when Sethe, Denver and Paul D were arriving from the carnival, they saw a young woman sitting not far from their house. She didn't look like a former slave as she was well-dressed and had a smooth skin, but when Sethe asked her name, she spelled it, as if being illiterate. Her name was Beloved. Sethe felt kindness towar her, as her name had reminded her daughter's headstone, and as Beloved had the cholera, the woman allowed her to stay and Denver became her nurse.
