John Steinbeck: Pastures of Heaven (Hardcover, 1995, Tandem Library)
school & library binding
English language
Published April 13, 1995 by Tandem Library.
A series of short stories connected by a moral, hardworking, compassionate family that moves into a rural California valley and, while meaning well, pretty much destroys the lives of the characters in each story. Fascinating read that pits eccentric, creative diversity against the American ”moral" ideal.
Interesting characters, interconnected short stories, intriguing setting. Also understandable for non-English readers (unlike Grapes of Wrath). Definitely worth a read!
Wow. Just wow. RTC, but “wow” pretty much says it all.
