Jonah's Gourd Vine

Jonah's Gourd Vine by Zora Neale Hurston  316 pp.

I really enjoyed this book and the discussion about it I attended at the library. Christa's description of the story pretty much covers it. I had not read this work by Hurston although I had heard about it and planned to read it "one day". The dialect in the story is a bit challenging at first, until a kind of rhythm sets in. That the story is based on Hurston's family makes the characters come alive. This is one I recommend.
