About this listen

Set against the backdrop of America's Great Depression and Dust Bowl, a family of farmers from Oklahoma head west in search of work, only to discover thousands like them are also on the move. Following a violent altercation with some locals, they head back on the road with their dream of a promised land in tatters. And life is set to get much worse for the Joads....

John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about economic migration and the endurance of the human spirit is dramatized by Donna Franceschild and directed by Kirsty Williams.

In tears and no words. The promised land left them wandering. I hope they settle and that amazing wife and mother can rest and Tommy come home. That goodbye was heartbreaking.

Took me back to my 'Back to school as a Senior person when John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men were the 2 books chosen to study in English class. Was well narrated. Bravo. 👏👏👏

Unless one has read John Steinbeck’s Grapes of wrath, I doubt that a listener to this rendition of the audio book will gain any insight into the pathos, irony and satire of this monumental novel. In my opinion it does an injustice to the brilliance of Steinbeck’s portrayal of the tragedy during this period of American history, of the betrayal to the people of the Oklahoma and their story of endurance during their departure from the “dust bowl” .
