Their Eyes Were Watching God
* Zora Neale Hurston's masterpiece is perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL NOVELS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
'This novel is a packet of surprises as we have no idea what's going to happen next' GUARDIAN
'One of the greatest writers of our time' TONI MORRISON
'Devilishly funny and academically solid: delicious mixture' MAYA ANGELOU
'There is no novel I love more' ZADIE SMITH
When, at sixteen, Janie is caught kissing shiftless Johnny Taylor, her grandmother swiftly marries her off to an old man with sixty acres. Janie endures two stifling marriages before meeting the man of her dreams - who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds.
With a cover design by Harlem renaissance artist, Lois Mailou Jones
'To the last page that fills the soul with tears, Hurston's novel delivers. To me, it is also a welcome reminder that books are democratic, subversive and life-changing' - The Times
'This novel is a packet of surprises as we have no idea what's going to happen next. Many romantic novels basically have the same plot, but this novel is something no one would have ever imagined' - Guardian
'A poignant story, told with almost rhythmic beauty' - Kirkus Reviews
