“This classic American novel by the Pulitzer award winning author I’ve been told countless times I should read, and so I have and this should put a stop to it.
Set during the great depression 30’s America we follow the Joad family who depart drought ridden Oklahoma in search of a new and better life.
Crickey is this a miserable novel, every step of the way what can go wrong does go wrong. Not the American dream. Not for me, yet I appreciate this gifted author and enjoyed Of Mice and Men.
