To the last page that<b> fills the soul with tears</b>, Hurston's novel delivers. To me, it is also a welcome reminder that books are democratic, subversive and life-changing
The Times
This <b>novel is a packet of surprises </b>as we have no idea what's going to happen next. Many romantic novels basically have the same plot, but this novel is<b> something no one would have ever imagined</b>
Guardian
For me, <i>Their Eyes Were Watching God</i> is <b>one of the very greatest American novels of the twentieth century</b>. It is so lyrical it should be sentimental; it is so passionate it should be overwrought, but it is instead a rigorous, convincing and dazzling piece of prose, as emotionally satisfying as it is impressive. There is no novel I love more
One of the greatest writers of our time
There is no book more important to me than this one. It speaks to me as no novel, past or present, has ever done
Zora Neale Hurston was a knockout in her life, a wonderful writer and a fabulous person.<b> Devilishly funny and academically solid</b>: delicious mixture
A poignant story, told with almost rhythmic beauty
