Book Review of Their Eyes Were Watching God

Their Eyes Were Watching God
Helpful Score: 1


Hurston was perhaps the first female to write fiction about Black women in the South - this one set in the 1930s. She's been compared to Faulkner and Hemingway, with good cause.

If you only read one classic of Black literature, choose this one!
