Seraph on the Suwanee by Zora Neale Hurston

Used. Paperback. Leave it to the legendary Zora Neale Hurston to trade her usual palette for a swampy, striking portrait of poor white folks in turn-of-the-century Florida. In this fascinating departure, she charts the tempestuous relationship of two people fiercely in love yet perpetually at war with each other and their own insecurities. It’s a humid, hard-hitting exploration of class and matrimony where the heat of the Sunshine State is rivaled only by the friction between its leads. If you think you know Hurston’s catalog, this brilliantly unconventional love story is ready to happily prove you wrong.
