Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck | Paperback
From Our Classic Literature Box
📖 About this Book
Set during the Great Depression, Of Mice and Men follows George Milton and Lennie Small, two migrant workers traveling through California in search of steady work and a better life.
George is practical and protective, while Lennie is physically strong but intellectually disabled and depends heavily on George. Together, they hold tightly to one dream: earning enough money to buy a little piece of land of their own.
But when they begin working on a ranch, their fragile hope collides with loneliness, prejudice, violence, and circumstances they cannot control. A short novel, but apparently Steinbeck decided emotional devastation did not require 500 pages.
❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It
A powerful classic about friendship, dreams, loneliness, and the heartbreaking gap between the life we imagine and the life reality gives us.
Steinbeck’s writing is simple but incredibly effective. It is a short book that leaves you thinking about the characters and their choices long after you finish it.
