The Grapes of Wrath follows the Joad family as they journey from Oklahoma to California during the Great Depression, searching for work and dignity in the face of hardship. Steinbeck’s novel is both a moving family saga and a powerful commentary on social justice, resilience, and the American dream. This Penguin Classics edition features a revised introduction and detailed notes.

WHY WE PICKED IT
