"He drifted off into sleep and Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place." 

This book was a masterpiece of writing. It started off slow for me, especially to adjust to the dialogue. After about a quarter of the way through, the plot really picked up for me. There were some troubling plot points, but I think it is important to learn about this time period and the massive injustices of the time.
