Finished this Steinbeck novella today I found it is incredibly well-written. Like many of his works, it deals with the effect of poverty and wealth on people. A poor pearl diver finds a incredibly valuable pearl and with it dreams of a future he could have never imagined. But perhaps this find will turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing. "The Pearl" keeps you until the very end between feelings of hope and a sense of impending doom. To know which wins, you'll have to read it. #books
