A review by booksfordessert
The Pastures of Heaven by John Steinbeck

4.0

Not my favourite Steinbeck book but it's still really good, he never makes me regret the time I've spent reading his words. This book contains 12 interconnected short stories about the inhabitants of Las Pasturas del Cielo or, The Pastures of Heaven. Each and every one of these characters seemed slightly mentally unhinged but their hopes and troubles felt completely relatable, true and fundamentally human. The more I read, the more connected I felt to them, and in the end my heart was fit to burst with emotion.
