Their Eyes Were Watching God (10)  —  Hurston, Zora Neale

The story follows Janie from her Nanny’s plantation shack, to Logan Killicks’s farm, to all-black Eatonville, to the Everglades, and back to Eatonville—where she gathers in “the great fish-net” of her life. Janie’s joyless marriage to Killicks lasts until Joe Starks passes by, on his way to becoming “a big voice.” REQUEST IT!
