Their Eyes Were Watching God
main characters
Janie Crawford
Rip's impressions
A bold, positive, and successful rendering of an African American woman. Heartfelt and likable, one immediately roots for her. A strong, humanly tender heroine, pitted against the rage and destructive nature of a hurricane––a tale of the human will to survive. One of the most deeply moving and important novels in American Literature.
