Quicksand

I decided to read a book from the Harlem Renaissance. This novel is about a half white African American woman trying to find meaning in her existence. When she finds dissatisfication in teaching she eventually turns to religion and marries a preacher. Only the woman wakes up one day realizing she's been brainwashed and hating the man she's married. But she can't turn away from the obligation she has with the five kids she's raised. Indeed, she finds she's fallen in quicksand. I think this is more than a book from the 1920s it can apply towards today as finding the meaning of life is still a relevant subject. It's too bad that Larsen only wrote two books and a couple of short stories.
