Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston
Recommended by Londyn Harris
Folklorist, anthropologist, author, playwright, and historian, Miss Zora Neale Hurston was truly one of a kind.
Their Eyes Were Watching God is set in Hurston’s home town of Eatonville, FL, the first fully incorporated all black town in the United States. Janie, our protagonist, shares many of the same traits Zora herself had, namely her self-possession and loving spirit (bordering on naïveté). And I love both of them so dearly!

““There are years that ask questions and there are years that answer” has stuck with me from the moment I read this book in high school.”
