INTRODUCED BY JESMYN WARD
'One of the greatest writers of our time' Toni Morrison
Born on the wrong side of the creek, John Buddy Pearson, the son of a slave, strikes out alone. Gaining an education and the love of Lucy Potts, he seems to have left his shoeless days behind. But unable to resist the lure of women or a fight, he's forced to flee town or face life on the chain gang.
Finding himself in Sanford, Florida, John discovers a talent for preaching and becomes pastor of Zion Hope Church. He rouses his congregation's fervour with powerful sermons and people come from far to hear him. With John's charisma and Lucy's quiet wisdom, the family is respected and admired. Before long, though, John is praying for his own sins - for his powers of persuasion aren't limited to the pulpit, and the town won't tolerate his philandering ways.
Originally published in 1934, this is Zora Neale Hurston's first novel.
'A bold and beautiful book, many a page priceless and unforgettable' Carl Sandburg
'Zora Neale Hurston was a knockout in her life, a wonderful writer and a fabulous person. Devilishly funny and academically solid: delicious mixture' Maya Angelou
