Zora Neale Hurston writes a coming of age story about Janie, an African American girl, who is searching for true love throughout the book. At the end, she finally finds her love and her true self, but it takes a couple of husbands and a lot of bad experiences to get there.
The story creates its own suspense because the reader is constantly trying to find out who Janie will spend the rest of her life with and whether she will ever be happy.
The most important lesson I learned from the book is that one should listen to his or her own feelings, and never let any else decide what you should do in your own life.
The descriptive language was beautiful, but the dialect was often hard to understand.
