Grapes of Wrath Bantam 1969 Paperback by John Steinbeck

“First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. 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, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity.” (Book summary from Good Reads website. Paperback is in good to fair condition: cover slightly worn, bottom of pages 41-59 slightly scorched {don’t know the cause, but like to imagine a Beatnik was reading & smoking and then got distracted}; 406 pages.
