‘Beloved’ made it to the top 10 on the list of biggest gains in sales on Amazon books over 24 hrs
After a few days of back-and-forth over an ad from Glenn Youngkin where he accused Terry McAuliffe of preventing parents from keeping explicit material out of schools, the book at the center of the conversation has made its way onto Amazon’s list of top rising books over the last 24 hours. The novel causing the controversy in the gubernatorial race is ‘Beloved,’ the Toni Morrisson work from 1987 about a Civil War-era woman that killed her own child to prevent it from experiencing slavery.
