520			_aOne of the greatest writers of our time' TONI MORRISON There is no novel I love more' ZADIE SMITH 'A wonderful writer and a fabulous person' MAYA ANGELOU 'There is no book more important to me than this one' ALICE WALKER 'She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the reeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her When sixteen-year-old Janie is caught kissing shiftless Johnny Taylor, her randmother swiftly marries her off to an old man with sixty acres. Janie endures two stifling marriages before she finally meets the man of her dreams - who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds.'Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the very greatest American novels of the 20th century. It is so lyrical it should be sentimental; it is so passionate it should be overwrought, but it is instead a rigorous, convincing and dazzling piece of prose, as emotionally satisfying as it is impressive. There is no novel I love more' ZADIE SMITH
