Seraph on the Suwanee

Seraph on the Suwanee is a 1948 novel by African American novelist Zora Neale Hurston. The novel is her last published novel, and was written after her publisher rejected two novels about black characters.

The novel is Hurston's only novel about white characters, exploring "white crackers" in Florida, attempting to create a "true picture of the South". The novel follows the experiences of a young woman as she has a fraught relationship with her husband and family.

The novel has never been well received by African American critics and scholars, often treating the novel as a "contrivance in Hurston's canon".
