The summary is low compared to the power of the text. This novel is essentially written in dialogue form, style is hard hitting. Every word, every sentence is a blow. The first pages are "nice" then the story packs sometimes violently. The reader is spectator of a film he would sometimes be the actor. Emotions lead us: tight throat, heart pounding. In short, a realistic story in the sharp pen of Steinbeck. The end is breathtaking.
