My published review of this book is forthcoming at the Practical Matters online journal....will post when the link is live for summary of the argument. My review there was limited to 1000 words, so I didn't have time to explain delicately that I didn't think her reading of Beloved was as good as it was of Silence (and presumably Gates of the Forest which I haven't read). I was holding her use of literature to the criterion of using another's thought while allowing it to remain "on its own terms," which she does so admirably with the Jewish-Christian dialogue part of her book. Her reading of Silence opened the novel up to me, making me think I hadn't gotten it all when I read it, and seemed to 'do justice' to the whole of the book instead of just picking the convenient themes. I didn't feel like she did all that for Beloved, though she did illuminate certain aspects of it for me.
