I first read and loved this book in my early 20s. After reading it again, a few years of life and marriage behind me, I can say I love it even more. This is going on my list of books to revisit throughout my life.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a lyrical masterpiece. There's so much life, joy, and grief wrapped up in the poetry of Zora's story. This book is well-deserving of its place among the classics.
