Seraph on the Suwanee by Zora Neale Hurston

Seraph on the Suwanee by Zora Neale Hurston

This novel of turn-of-the-century white “Florida Crackers” marks a daring departure for the author famous for her complex accounts of black culture and heritage

Full of insights into the nature of love, attraction, faith, and loyalty, Seraph on the Suwanee is the compelling story of two people at once deeply in love and deeply at odds. With the same passion and understanding that have made Their Eyes Were Watching God a classic, Hurston explores the evolution of a marriage full of love but very little communication and the desires of a young woman in search of herself and her place in the world.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist whose fictional and factual depictions of African-American history are unrivaled. Her writings include Barracoon, a New York Times bestseller, as well as her most famous work, the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.
