I just love it so much.<br /><br />I read "Letters From Black America" last year, which included correspondence between Hurston and Langston Hughes, and letters from Hughes to others praising her. I was so intrigued to see that they shared a deep, respectful friendship. It definitely makes me want to read more about her.MJhttp://wanderinginthestacks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30889172.post-24897269399710291382013-05-13T11:00:16.517-04:002013-05-13T11:00:16.517-04:00I definitely have buckets of love for this book!
...I definitely have buckets of love for this book!<br /><br />I think Tea Cake possibly represents an ideal for men at the time, though it would be difficult to know without research. His courtship of Janie was nice, but the afterwards "property" part of the relationship bothered me.Lonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248163148722597124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30889172.post-69929355042683028142013-05-09T23:11:20.288-04:002013-05-09T23:11:20.288-04:00Lovely review Loni.

It's hard not to just gush buckets of love for this book isn't it?<br /><br />I couldn't see Tea Cake through Janie's rose-coloured glasses either, but I could appreciate how he represented all her ideas of being in love. He was what she needed to get to be the women sitting on Phoebe's porch chatting I guess.<br /><br />Here's my review too <a href="http://bronasbooks.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/their-eyes-were-watching-god-by-zora.html" rel="nofollow">Brona's Books</a>Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.com
