Set against the Great Depression of 1930s America, The Grapes of Wrath is a classic example of grand-scale American storytelling. When the book arrived in 1939 it met with some harsh criticism, as it contained strong language and posed many uncomfortable questions about society, politics and humanity. There is, undeniably, a bleakness about it, but this is outweighed by an unshakeable sense of hope which permeates through the most desperate of circumstances. Eminently readable, the book manages to say big, big things, but in the simplest language possible.
