This was a little bit difficult to get into at first because of the way it was written in the dialect/vernacular the characters would’ve spoken at the time. The story itself is set in the early 20th C, and follows Janie, a biracial young woman, as she grows through her late teen years through adulthood and her 3 marriages/partnerships. I am finding it very difficult to describe my thoughts on this book, as I think a reread would help. 4 ⭐️
