Steinbeck once again excells.
This (very long) book roars through the Salina Valley scattering Hamilton's & Trask's every which way.
Adam Trask with his two son's - Caleb & Arron bring us face to face with the Biblical story of Cain & Abel.
We follow their story along with the Hamilton's and at the same time see the world changing as the 20'th C. progresses.. The car begins to take the place of the horse. We are introduced to the Ice-box and other 'modern inventions.
We are given insight into the geographical qualities of the Salina Valley & we realise just
how fragile the human race is as we look inside the souls of all Steinbeck's characters - none of them are of the black & white variety but much as life for real, they are various shades of grey....
A Good Read....
