Finished Song of Solomon

I finished Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison last night. I have really loved the previous books I have read by Morrison, but I had trouble focusing on this one. I think it has been due to me being so busy and not having time to read. The story was about Macon Dead trying to find out about his past. There were lots of mysteries about where his grandfather came from. I didn't really see the conflict between black and white in this book. It was more of a struggle in family relationships. Macon's parents did not get along, his dad did not get along with his aunt, the sisters hated Macon. When Macon was a teenager he fell in "love with his cousin". It turns out it was more lust for him, but the cousin Hagar, actually loved him. Throughout his life Macon didn't really care about helping others or having relationships with other people. This all changed once he found out about his past. It really turned him into a different person. I don't feel like I had my full concentration on this story, so sorry for the sloppy review.
