🎷 Love, obsession, and betrayal—set to the rhythm of Harlem’s golden age.
In Jazz, Toni Morrison crafts a story that moves like music, weaving a tale of passion, memory, and the wounds of the past. Set in 1920s Harlem, the novel follows Joe and Violet, a married couple whose love is tested after Joe has an affair with the young and vibrant Dorcas. But when tragedy strikes, their lives unravel in unexpected ways, revealing deep scars from the past and a desperate search for redemption.
