This book is about an African-American woman in her early forties named Janie Crawford, tells the story of her life and journey with extended flashback to her best friend, Pheoby. It is African-American literature and also women's literature.
The setting of this book is in the central and southern Florida in the early 20th century. I know this because in the book, it says " ...quality white folks up dere in West Florida." (Page 8) This doesn't say exactly were the place is at, but I can know about were did she worked. I can predict that the story takes at about 20th century, because there are still slaves, or unfairness of black people and white people in the story.
I am not really into these type of books but this book actually seems very intresting and maybe I will read it some time.
