The Intertwined Lives of Twyla and Roberta

At the core of Recitatif lies the enigmatic relationship between two young girls, Twyla and Roberta. From their initial meeting in a shelter for children in the 1960s, their paths intertwine and diverge throughout their lives. Morrison deftly weaves their contrasting experiences and perspectives together, painting a vivid tapestry of the complexities of race and identity in America.
