I can't believe this little gem was never taught in my high school or college years! Perhaps, I'd not have enjoyed or understood it. Janie is a wonderful and wondrous character. Her story is told through her POV mostly and her voice is strong, except when she needed her voice. Then, it was silent.
That worried me and surprised me, for Janie is a strong woman. Lord, she had to be. She survived three men, a hurricane, a mad dog, and people's wagging tongues.

I loved this book. It's such a well written romance about a woman who lives her life as she wishes. Married three times, the last one is the love of her life. Her grandmother insisted on the first because she would have someone to take care of her once she died. Her parents had died earlier. The second marriage was a mistake but when Janie Crawford met Tea Cake she falls hard and in spite of his age marries him when he asks. Janie is much older than Tea Cake but they have a happy, happy marriage

Touching story, could relate to Janie And her struggles throughout her life.
From page 160 -- The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.
