Publisher Description
Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a Black woman in the ‘30s. Zora Neale Hurston's classic 1937 novel follows Janie's quest for identity -- a journey during which she learns what love is, experiences life's joys and sorrows, and comes home to herself in peace.
“There is no book more important to me than this one.” --Alice Walker
“Their Eyes belongs in the same category with [the works of] William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway, that of enduring American literature.” --Saturday Review
Customer Reviews
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Outstanding! I loved everything about it. I was led to it by Alice Walker and am forever grateful to have read it. It validated the lesson of my soul “To thine ownself be true”. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs to be reminded of the power of love.

A great novel and a must read. Zola Neale Hurston shares her heart and her love of her people. The last paragraphs are so compelling, sad and yet tender.
