Come enjoy discussing newer fiction and nonfiction titles. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. This month we will be discussing, “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston.
The Millhopper Book Club meets the first Tuesday of each month. When we meet, we start by sharing books we’ve read recently, then discuss that month’s book. You do not have to read the book to attend the meeting.
In May, we'll be discussing Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost 30 years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong Black female protagonist—Hurston’s novel is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit and heartfelt wisdom. Janie Crawford, a beautiful, independent Black woman navigating love and self-discovery through three turbulent marriages in the early 20th century American South, ultimately finding her voice and true identity amidst societal constraints and personal struggles; a powerful tale of resilience and the search for authentic love, beautifully written with rich Southern dialect and vivid imagery.
