  4.0 out of 5 stars This book will make your heart bleed with compassion

  I was assigned this book in university and, because it was mandatory, I convinced myself that I would not enjoy it. I could not have been more wrong.
  
  This book is excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in human rights or just a very human story about one woman's struggles. It will open your eyes to the double-edged sword of inequality that women of colour faced during the 1900s. The main character, Janie Crawford, will take you on an emotional journey filled with moments of laughter and blistering anger. Zora Neale Hurston created lovable, complex characters that I was eager to follow through their hardships and successes.
  
  Their Eyes Were Watching God will make your heart bleed with compassion and Hurston's use of colloquialisms breathes life into the story and its characters.
