Their Eyes Were Watching God

Although I have not yet had the opportunity to begin reading Zora Neale Hurston’s novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, I am truly looking forward to getting started.  Thanks to joyous exclamations by my roommate who had previously read it and some reviews I read about it, this book seems to include a number of themes that I enjoy in my literature.  Basing my assumptions off of reviews and the summary inside the cover, I am eagerly approaching this as a historical and cultural novel with a female protagonist, who lives out underlying themes of love, growth, and community.  While this seems like a very engaging skeletal structure for a book, I hope to go into reading it without too many expectations.  My weekend of reading awaits…
