Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

challenging emotional funny reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

The line, "She stood there until something fell off the shelf inside her", stayed with me the entire book. I think every woman has her own version of that very feeling. Some of the best storytelling I've ever encountered. Can't believe I didn't read it until now but I understand why it's on every must-read Black history and American literature list.
