About this listen

 This recently rediscovered and critically acclaimed 1937 novel tells the story of Janie Crawford, a long-legged, articulate, and fiercely independent African-American woman of the 1930s. Janie's quest for identity includes three marriages and a return to her roots. Despite her struggles, Janie never defines herself by regret, fear, or unrealistic dreams, and refuses to be anything but her own person. Read by actress Ruby Dee, this outstanding recording has been widely praised for its flawless adaptation of Hurston's classic.©1937, 1965 Zora Neale Hurston (P)1997, 2000, 2004 HarperCollins Publishers African American Classics Education Genre Fiction Higher & Continuing Education Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Parenting & Families Parents & Adult Children Fiction
