Welcome back FAB friends, this week the ladies reviewed one of the most important and enduring books of the 20th century. "Their Eyes Were Watching God" brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years, due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist, Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. The story follows Janie's journey from a voiceless teenage girl to a self-actualized woman through three marriages in the American South. Tune in to hear why this book is so beloved by the hosts. Cheers!
