In this paper, I read Love as a double female Bildungsroman and argue that, as in Morrison`s second novel Sula, Love is primarily a story about interrupted love between girls. This reading focuses on the narratives of (anti-)Bildung of the two female characters, Christine Cosey and Heed the Night Johnson Cosey, in relation to the emotional conflicts that are associated with love. As readers, we are invited to work with the author to ferry out the why and how of this interruption and to witness the power of love when the two characters are reunited.
