"Morrison's characters pay the price of living self-absorbed lives, isolated from roots and cultural traditions."

"What Jadine has become is a woman cut off from her personal past, from her cultural heritage, and from history."

"Self-indulgent and determined to live in the present, without concern for the welfare of others." (on Jadine)

"Brooding over the lives of the characters in this novel is a sense of unreality, of living in suspended time, as each is waiting for something to happen."

"Michael, who like Godot never comes."

"The characters are held in limbo by their indifference to the outside world and their preoccupation with the unfinished business of the past."
