Their Eyes Were Watching God

I learned about Hurston from a PBS documentary and was curious to read one of her novels. This was my first and I loved the story. Hurston's use of dialect can be difficult to read at times, but the passion and life of Janie just grabs you and pulls you in. Janie is a woman on a quest for love, laughter, and her own life. It's a short read, but one that is memorable and unique. Hurston has a way of writing that is simple, yet eloquent. I hope you enjoy the book as I did.
