Their Eyes Were Watching God is a story about love and resilience and grief. It was so immersive to read, Hurston really depicted each setting well and brought the characters to life plus Janie was an endearing heroine whose self-assuredness and readiness to speak up against the injustices she sees drew me to her character and made me hopeful her plight would change. This book was earthy and soulful and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
