Classic Book Club - Grapes of Wrath

Coco's Restaurant (map)

Selected By: A former member

Come and join us for a discussion on the Grapes of Wrath.

The Grapes of Wrath is a novel published in 1939 and written by John Steinbeck, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on a poor family of sharecroppers, the Joads, driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agriculture industry. In a nearly hopeless situation, partly because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, they set out for California along with thousands of other "Okies" in search of land, jobs and dignity.

The meeting starts at 7pm but some ladies show up after 6:30 for some extra coffee and dessert.
See you all there.
