This is the second novel in what has been called the Beloved Trilogy, consisting of Beloved (1987), Jazz, and Paradise (1997), three novels about love and African-American history. The author has said they are intended to be read together, explaining: "The conceptual connection is the search for the beloved - the part of the self that is you, and loves you, and is always there for you." It has also been said that the trilogy has roots in Dante's trilogy, The Divine Comedy. Jazz is set in 1926 in the Harlem Renaissance, with references back to the South of the 19th century. We also have Beloved for sale. ISBN 10: 0679411674 / ISBN 13: 9780679411673
