La fel ca toate celelalte cărți citite de la acest autor, o lectura plina de viață, cu personaje puternic conturate si fragmente pline de înțelepciune. 

M-a impresionat felul in care Steinbeck a reușit să creioneze istoria mai multor familii, cu măiestria unui adevărat artist care nu s-a temut să scoată la iveală atât virtuțile personajelor sale, cat și viciile și defectele acestora. 

Paralelele biblice prezente pe tot parcursul lecturii au oferit acesteia o nota de profunzime și atemporalitate pe care altfel nu cred ca ar fi atins-o. 

Singurul aspect care m-a făcut sa ii acord patru stele in loc de cinci, a fost faptul ca nu am reusit sa disting un anumit fir narativ clar, insa aceasta este o preferință personală.

O lectură captivantă și o carte de care cu siguranță imi voi aduce aminte cu drag!
