Now, women forget all those things they dont want to remember and remember everything they dont want to forget. The dream is the truth. When, at sixteen, Janie is caught kissing shiftless Johnny Taylor, her grandmother swiftly marries her off to an old man with sixty acres. Janie endures two stifling marriages before meeting the man of her dreams who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds. Rediscovered and championed by Alice Walker in the 1970s, Hurstons lyrical novel of selfdiscovery is now acclaimed as one of the greatest American classics of the twentieth century.INTRODUCED BY ZADIE SMITHThere is no novel I love more ZADIE SMITHThis novel is a packet of surprises GUARDIAN One of the greatest writers of our time TONI MORRISON Zora Neale Hurston was a knockout MAYA ANGELOUThere is no book more important to me than this one.
