The novel contains some thoughtful meditations about loss and aging, and there is a sense of Morrison ‘closing the circle’ as an author here: as many readers and critics have noted, some of the themes covered in the novel intersect with those covered in Morrison's first novel, The Bluest Eye, including especially the fraught relationships between mothers and daughters in families that have experienced trauma, and colorism in the Black community. Toni Morrison published God Help the Child in 2015, at the age of 84. It would be her last novel she died in 2019 of complications related to pneumonia.
