When I read Beloved, the chapter in Beloved’s own voice nearly broke me. It took a Google and several re-reads to understand the basics of what Morrison was trying to convey there.

I would also say the entirety of Cloud Atlas was like this for me (and the middle chapter is probably closest to what you describe here). There is just so, so much in those books that you could probably read them a dozen times and still find things missed on previous reads.

Some other people have mentioned Beloved on the comments, I think I will add them to my list. Cloud Atlas too.

Cloud Atlas was amazing for me. He writes in multiple voices, and each one is way different than all the rest. Just phenomenal.

If it makes a difference, I tried to watch the movie afterward and didn’t last ten minutes before I stopped.
