Description
Sweet Thursday is the story of a day that's unusual. In Monterey, California, the day after a particularly bad Wednesday, the sun shines bright and anything can happen. Steinbeck's vivid world of characters comes alive, set against the backdrop of a post-war community where love, laughter, and tears are always present.
Meet the colourful characters who inhabit this world, each with their own story to tell. There's Fauna, the latest madam at the Bear Flag brothel, and Doc, a familiar face who's feeling strangely sad. Then there's Suzy, the new hustler in town who might just be the girl to save him. Steinbeck's masterful storytelling brings them all together in a tale that's both humorous and heart-wrenching.
