My first Steinbeck. Emotional and difficult to read. People talk of the way he sets a scene and builds characters, and it’s completely true. This may be short but it packs a punch. Rating is mostly for the content, not the writing—I understand the overall message, but if you’re anything like me and went into this completely unspoiled about this story, you may want to check TWs.
