Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This sprawling and often brutal novel, set in the rich farmlands of California's Salinas Valley, follows the intertwined destinies of two families--the Trasks and the Hamiltons--whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. "A strange and original work of art".--New York Times Book Review.

Review:

John Steinbeck knew and understood America and Americans better than any other writer of the twentieth century. (The Dallas Morning News) A man whose work was equal to the vast social themes that drove him. (Don DeLillo)

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. xxix-xxx).

I know this is an established literary classic but I just have to say this is an AWESOME book. Steinbeck never wastes his words. Every sentence and description is perfect - you can SEE Salinas as you read. The story is weird, wonderful and full of twists.
