    This book amazes me. It was copyrighted in 1937, renewed in 1965 and "foreword copyright in 1978 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois." I read the book in 1989 and watch the TV movie (by Winfrey) fairly recently. The small screen couldn't do the book justice, but I give them credit for trying and keeping Ms. Hurston's work alive. I can't give you a complete review but I remember falling in love with Tea Cake. What Janie did out of love for her Tea Cake is heartfelt, to say the least. A beautiful love story from beginning to end.
