Es scheint, als läge ein Fluch über dem Städtchen Ruby, Oklahoma. Dessen Bewohner, Nachkommen ehemaliger Sklaven, bilden eine verschworene Gemeinschaft. Siebzehn Meilen weiter, in einem verlassenen Kloster, wohnt die Sünde in Gestalt von fünf Frauen. Ein großes Epos über eine von Rassismus, Bigotterie und Intoleranz bedrohte Gruppe schwarzer und weißer Frauen. Paradies ist ein Höhepunkt in Toni Morrisons grandiosem Zyklus über die Geschichte der Schwarzen in den USA, den sie mit Menschenkind>br/> und Jazz begann. Poetisch, episch und von großer Sprachgewalt, ist Paradies zugleich eine der wichtigsten Arbeiten in einem preisgekrönten literarischen Lebenswerk, das sich durch seine künstlerische Virtuosität ebenso auszeichnet wie durch sein menschliches Engagement.
