Synopsis: Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person - no mean feat for a black woman in the '30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.Review: They sure don't write books like they used to. I would love to sit in an English class and listen to someone really dissect this novel. It was fascinating, maddening, and compelling all in one. Loved it.
I listened to the audio book, which won an Audie Award, not surprisingly since the narrators performed the characters into being.
Could be my favorite read, or listen, of 2019.
