November Book Club: East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Our theme this month was books you’ve read that are ‘must read’, mind-blowing, once in a lifetime etc. We had a lot of fantastic contenders but the winning book was East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Synopsis below:

California's fertile Salinas Valley is home to two families whose destinies are fruitfully, and fatally, intertwined. Over the generations, between the beginning of the twentieth century and the end of the First World War, the Trasks and the Hamiltons will helplessly replay the fall of Adam and Eve and the murderous rivalry of Cain and Abel.

East of Eden was considered by Steinbeck to be his magnum opus, and its epic scope and memorable characters, exploring universal themes of love and identity, ensure it remains one of America's most enduring novels.

Look forward to seeing you then! 🍸
