I never got the chance to read this in high school. I am amazed at the amount of depth Zora Neale Hurston has managed to pack into the small amount of the story I've read so far. The survival story weaved into everything, set against the particular class struggles for Black women during this time period--it's heart-wrenching. I'm also particularly blown away by how much "showing" is done over "telling." Amazing work.

This arc with Joe is so good. Lots of very sharp scenes around what is expected of a wife and of women in general, and ultimately how fragile men like Joe are. I was struck by the image of the shelf in Janie’s mind. And the observations on aging! So good!
