The Grapes Of Wrath
John Steinbeck
The great depression was sweeping through the country, but it was hitting hardest in the "dust bowl" a place in the mid west United States. A young man is released from prison on parole and he is trying to find his family who live in the mid west. When he finally catches up to them they tell him that they want to go to California. They embark on a great road trip to California, a trip filled with birth, death, sorrow, and joy.
A great book, but defiantly a book for a matured reader because it is very long. It can be hard to follow at times because it switches narrator perspectives a lot. However it is a good classic book and it really shows you how important family is and that you should always keep going even when the going gets tough.
