"Beloved" by Toni Morrison (363 - 480 pp)

When Paul D had gone, the life of three women became easier: they were free to be what they liked, see whatever they saw and say whatever was on their minds. They enjoyed the life, as one day Sethe found skates; there was the pair ( for Beloved) and a half of other skates (for Denver), the woman wore shoes slide. But nobody saw them falling.
She was her daughter – she was her mother
Now Sethe had more time to unite all the pictures, as the next morning, when Beloved was sitting at the table, the woman looked at her profile: her chin, her mouth, her nose, her forehead, everything was so familiar. Then Sethe saw the the scar on the girl's neck – she finally found her lost daughter. She remembered the carnival, three hand-holding shadows on the road, that time she had thought the third one was Paul D, but she had been mistaken, as it was Beloved.
Sethe remembered: as soon as she had gotten the headstone, Beloved made her presence known in the house and worried them. The woman thought the girl was angry with her, but then Beloved wouldn't have come back to her. So Sethe hadn't to explain the reason of her murder, as the girl knew it: if she hadn't killed her, Beloved would have died, and that was something that Sethe couldn't bear to happen to her. Now Beloved returned to her mother and couldn't lose her.
She was her sister
beloved was Denver's sister. Even since Denver was little, she was the only friend of hers, she helped her to wait for Denver's father; she was her friend until Paul D had come and threw her out. But now Beloved returned to Denver, and the last one couldn't lose her.
