The Grapes of Wrath is by John Steinbeck. The classic historical fiction tale of the Joad family set during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl era. The Joads lose their farm in Oklahoma and with thousands of other families head for California where they believe they will find work. California, however, does not turn out to be the Promised Land of their dreams. While I don't like this novel as much as I do East of Eden, it is a must read classic. The story of the Joads is tragic from start to the horrifically sad finish. A Reader's Corner Highly Recommended Read.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content) - P (profanity).
