A woman's journey through 3 marriages and simultaneously a portrait of African-American culture, end of 19th century, shortly after slavery was abolished. I could not care for any of the characters, the written dialect was hard to read, and Hurston's mix of writing styles was interesting yet slightly off-putting.

As always, happy when I actually can give a book a low star-rating on here, because it doesn't happen often enough and my average is way too high.
