The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck

4.0

I love Steinbeck's style so much. After reading Of Mice and Men last year for English, I was curious to know what the author believed about the treatment and abilities of women. The complexities of Elisa in "The Chrysanthemums" pleasantly surprised me. To be honest, I teared up a little during my read; maybe I relate a little too much to the heart of a woman that pulls in different directions.
