Their Eyes Were Watching God

Zora Neale Hurston

One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audience's rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston&;s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.—HarperCollins



"I was totally transfixed. It is an epic adventure of self realization and romance."—Submitted by Casey M-T., Master Control Operator, CATS
