Their story is one of false hopes and powerlessness, yet out of their struggle the writer created a drama that is both intensely human and majestic in its scale and moral vision. “I’ve done my damndest to rip a reader’s nerves to rags,” Steinbeck said of his novel about a poor family driven from their land in the Great Depression. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into haves and have-nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grapes-Wrath-John-Steinbeck/dp/0141185066
