Query: The most haunting portrayal of madness since "The Bell Jar"

I couldn't put this book down from the moment I opened it. I doubt any reader could not want to reach into this book and remove Pecold Breedlove from her family's abuse and insanity before it ultimately engulfs her. Doomed from the start, Pecola becomes the innocent victim of everyone around her. Toni Morrison has captured the evils of racism, incest, and abuse, and shown their very tragic results through Pecola in a very haunting, yet unfortunately all too real, manner. Without a doubt, one of the most emotional stories I have ever read.
