"She looked down on him and felt a soul-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place."

#TheirEyesWereWatchingGod is a beautifully written story about a Black women's journey to finding love. Along the way, she climbs the social ladder, learns about herself and love. I initially found it difficult to get through due to the dialogue being written in vernacular but after a couple of chapters, I adapted😅. #TheirEyes is a small book that packs a heavy punch! Hurston creates characters with so much life and depth, I couldn't help but fall in love with this book!
