"A deeply soulful novel that comprehends love and cruelty, and separates the big people from the small of heart, without ever losing sympathy for those unfortunates who don't know how to live properly." --Zadie Smith
The beloved Zora Neale Hurston Classic--a PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick--now available in a special gift edition.
Originally published in 1937, Their Eyes Were Watching God has become one of the most important and enduring works of modern American literature. Written with Zora Neale Hurston's singular wit and pathos, this Southern love story recounts Janie Crawford's "ripening from a vibrant, but voiceless, teenage girl into a woman with her finger on the trigger of her own destiny."
A tale of awakening and independence featuring a strong female protagonist driven to fulfill her passions and ambitions, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a classic of the Harlem Renaissance and perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of literature.

Initially the dialectic style (old southern black speech) was at 1st disconcerting but it moved from tolerable to enjoyable..almost like discovering a new language. Recommended to my book club (accepted, resulting in a rich discussion)
One of my favorite books, so easy to read with all the plot twists
Was a different version than pictured. Still the same book but was not the exact one that is pictured in the profile.
Book was in great condition and arrived quickly!
Top of the drawer use of language to illustrate humaness, and a well woven story that illuminatrs the utility and power of story telling. She produced the narratives that reached beyond the sublime and embraced life.
