A review by staceyleedee
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Ernest J. Gaines

2.0

I don't think I ever read this book, but I have some fond memories of the Cicely Tyson film version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071175/). Somehow, the story didn't work for me. The first quarter when young Jane and Ned are on the road is beautifully told and heartfelt, and later when Ned is an activist educator--I was engaged. But the other later stories seemed to drag on unnecessarily.
