Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck

on Monday, January 12, 2009

Very very touching, heart breaking novel. I just loved the ending scene, it was really a tear jerker :(

Seeing the cover of the book, I got a bit frightened. It looked too serious for my liking :) but I enjoyed the book thoroughly.

The storyline is about a Joad family in Oklahoma and how they migrate to California for work. The story is of their struggle on daily things like food, baths, clothes etc. The central character I feel is the mother of the family who takes on a lot and knows how to push buttons of every person in the family to get things done.

It's a lovely story and definitely a must read.
