Their Eyes Were Watching God follows the life of a woman named Janie who went through 3 husbands, love, loss and personal growth. Some of the themes of this book included love (for self and with others), gender roles, racism, happiness, colorism, black communities, struggle and the list could go on and on! I love Zora's writing style and it reminds me of my southern family.
Even though this book had many emotional themes, I did get inspired by the main character Janie. I love Janie's fearlessness about her desires out of life. My main take away from this book was to live life to its fullest! Don't let age, economic struggles or other people's opinions stop you!
