As young girls in a poor but close-knit community, Nel and Sula are
inseparable. But their paths as adults couldn't be more different: while
Nel settles in town to raise a family, Sula escapes for the progressive
ideals of the big city. When Sula reappears ten years later, she comes
face to face with a community whose values are at odds with her fierce
individualism and rebellious ways. Reunited, Nel and Sula must confront
the consequences of their actions and the dreadful secret they shared in
childhood.
Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. Terrifying, comic and tragic, Sula overflows with love and life, friendship and betrayal.
