Mind blowing tale that's worryingly relevant today.

Slow read due to heavy dialect, but about halfway through you realize you are reading an important history lesson and getting a hard reality of the Dust Bowl Migration. I’m sad to read that my California treated migrants so poorly and had no empathy.

The end is just a killer. Wow. Glad I read it. What a journey it took me on!

The prose, symbolism, settings, all fantastic. Moved a little too slow for me at times and didn’t connect with the story at times as much as I’d hoped. Throughly enjoyed and would read again
