The Bluest Eye
by Toni Morrison (1970)
"Standing before the counter, she looks at the array of candies. All Mary Janes, she decides. Three for a penny. The resistant sweetness that breaks open at last to deliver peanut butter - the oil and salt which complement the sweet pull of caramel. A peal of anticipation unsettles her stomach."
