Ethan Allen Hawley, the protagonist of Steinbeckā€™s last novel, works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned. With Ethan no longer a member of Long Islandā€™s aristocratic class, his wife is restless, and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day, in a moment of moral crisis, Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards.
