Zora Neale Hurston
One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published -- perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.

"Not my kind of book, but was kind of interesting at parts, although a little difficult to understand due to the language used at the time the book was written."

"I reread this book and it still holds up. It means a lot to me because Zora Neale Hurston is from Florida and I appreciate that this story came from a Floridian. There is so much black history and culture in Florida yet it’s not highlighted at all. I love that this book captured black culture in Florida. I’m honestly dumbfounded that I found out about her for book report in middle school and didn’t start reading this novel (and also having a discussion about her) until high school.
It saddens me that she fell into obscurity. She should be highlighted more. I love this book. The themes and the topics were great. I enjoyed rereading this book and I picked up on new things that I didn’t know before or I perceived differently in my first read. "
