3.0 out of 5 stars
Dust Bowl novel,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The golden bowl (A Zia book) (Paperback)
Set in South Dakota during the Dust Bowl, a drifter (Maury Grant) stops at the Thor ranch on his way west. Things are very rough there during these Depression years, but unlike the Joads in Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH (which it is often compared to), the Thors stay put and don't light out for greener pastures in California. Grant stays for a while with the Thors, then leaves. But he's drawn back finally, more mature for his experiences. Mansfield's style is deliberately very crude in language and character depiction: for some reason he portrays Grant as an insensitive tough. Other than this major stylistic flaw, Manfred is good at capturing the nobility of these exhausted but not defeated people.
