 Short vignettes from a community who settles in a valley in California. Typical Steinbeck stuff. If nothing else read the story about Junius Maltby.

 beautiful short stories set in the area of Cali I just visited. His characters are so rich and he describes the land in a way you can see it yourself. Beautiful writing.

 Excellent, considering these stories were written very early in Steinbeck's career. Definitely worth reading--this whacked-out community ain't nothing like heaven.
These interconnected short stories about a community that's less than perfect are quite good, considering Steinbeck wrote them early in his career.

 Lesser known work by Steinbeck. A friend turned me back on to Steinbeck with this novel. I was not a fan until I read Pastures of Heaven. Quirky text -- good stuff!!

 I love the interconnectedness of these shorts. Nice to just move into a town for a while and watch.

 Wow, every family/person in this novel is woven into a greater story. The Vermont House is my favorite part...you must read it.
