The author's perspective is philosophical and at the same time painfully personal and insightful. Not only does she show the similarity between good and evil, but she also shows how two women become one and the consequences that that fact has in their lives.

Sula is a disturbingly real portrayal of what it means to be black, and, at that, a black woman, in America. It is also a disturbingly real presentation of life and values and will make any reader examine themselves more carefully.
