June Gathering of "Their Eyes Were Watching Books" - Our Namesake Novel!

Join us this June as "Their Eyes Were Watching Books" delves into the very story that inspired our club's name—Zora Neale Hurston's masterpiece, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." As we embrace the start of hurricane season here in Florida, our session will resonate deeply with one of the novel's most dramatic moments—an evocative portrayal of a hurricane that is both a force of nature and a pivotal turn in the protagonist's journey.

Set in the lush backdrop of rural Florida, Hurston's novel is a celebration of life, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a woman named Janie Crawford. As we explore Janie's quest for identity and true love, we'll also reflect on the broader themes of natural forces and personal transformation—themes that echo our own seasonal shift into the tempestuous beauty of the Floridian hurricane season.

This gathering isn't just a book club meeting; it's a chance to connect with literature on a personal and communal level, as we discuss how the turbulence outside mirrors the turbulence within. Whether you're a longtime lover of classic literature or seeking a meaningful connection with local book enthusiasts, this meeting promises rich discussion, new insights, and the warm company of fellow readers.

Prepare for a storm of emotions and a whirlwind of thoughts as we dive into this poignant narrative. Don't miss out on reading our namesake book in a setting that couldn't be more fitting. See you there as we weather the storm of great literature together!
