Sethe, an escaped slave living in post-Civil War Ohio, risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death. She has lost a husband and buried a child, borne the unthinkable and not gone mad. Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved.
