The United States of the early 20th century

The forfeiture of a family living off the land, hoping to leave their crops whose banks were appropriated to win California, then promised land.
Nothing to do with the American Dream! The author describes the journey of this family and its members with a poignant realism. Throughout the pages, it is easily immersed in this universe.
It is a simple book, well written, without length and a remarkable interest.
For those whose Book size perplexing, I recommend you start with a small new Steinbeck titled Of Mice and Men, a short book and allow you to form an opinion about the value you could bring to this masterpiece!
A must-have in his library!
