'The greatest American novel I have ever read' – Dorothy Parker
On the great Oklahoma plains the sun beats down and the clouds don't bring rain. Farmers watch the corn turn brown and another crop fail. When landowners force them off the land, the Joad family heads for the fruitful land of California. But the migration is hard, work scant and landowners just as greedy as they were in the Dust Bowl. Through it all, the Joads never lose their dignity, struggling to keep together and resist the dehumanising anguish of hunger and unemployment. This extraordinary chronicle of the plight of America's migrant poor won Steinbeck the Pulitzer Prize.
