Wow, this book!! My friend recommended me this and I'm so grateful.
Some great quotes (more to come when I am reunited with my copy!):
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”
I really feel like the story really picks up once Jody dies. Janie really isn't even the focus of the story it seems. But once Jody dies, Janie emerges as a full character as opposed to simply Jody's wife. This mirrors Janie becoming more outright about getting what she wants. And she does! I love love love Janie with Tea Cake even if he's TOO STUBBORN for his own good.
Read this book. Read this book again. Read this book to love a character.
