Acclaimed for her pitch-perfect accounts of rural black life and
culture, Zora Neale Hurston explores new territory with her novel
Seraph on the Suwanee--a story of two people at once deeply in love
and deeply at odds, set among the community of "Florida Crackers"
at the turn of the twentieth century. Full of insights into the
nature of love, attraction, faith, and loyalty, it follows young
Arvay Henson, convinced she will never find true happiness, as she
defends herself from unwanted suitors with hysterical fits and
religious fervor. But into her life comes bright and enterprising
Jim Meserve, who knows that Arvay is the woman for him, and nothing
she can do will dissuade him.
Alive with the same passion and understanding of the human heart
that made Their Eyes Were Watching God a classic, Hurston's Seraph
on the Suwanee masterfully explores the evolution of a marriage and
the conflicting desires of an unforgettable young woman in search
of herself and her place in the world.
