A controversial tale of friendship and tragedy during the Great
Depression. Over seventy-five years since its first publication,
Steinbeck’s tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss
remains one of America’s most widely read and taught novels. An
unlikely pair, George and Lennie, two migrant workers in
California during the Great Depression, grasp for their American
Dream. They hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth
existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of
land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on
a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream
seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard
Lennie from the provocations, nor predict the consequences of
Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him.
Characters:17. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
