Pros

  • Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
  • Zora Neale Hurston's short novel set in African-American communities in Florida in the early twentieth century is also beautifully written, and funny and heartbreaking by turns -- but with a redemptive ending.
  • Most beautifully written American novel, IMHO.
  • Parent context: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe Their Eyes Were Watching God Reply: Seconding Their Eyes were Watching God!! It's emotional/heartbreaking, but one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.
  • Their Eyes Were Watching God describes very accurately and beautifully the moment when a woman falls out of love with her husband because of the disrespectful way he treats her.

The first time I read Their Eyes Were Watching God, I really didn't get it. I was just too young. The second time, it made much more sense. The third time, I felt like I really understood it.
