The novel is set on a ranch in Soledad, CA. The pair seems unstoppable until tragedy strikes and their hopes come crashing down, forcing George to make a difficult decision regarding the welfare of his best friend. Fiercely devoted to one another, George and Lennie plan to save up to finance their dream of someday owning a small piece of land. ![]() ![]() The second book in John Steinbeck’s labor trilogy, Of Mice and Men is a touching tale of two migrant laborers in search of work and eventual liberation from their social circumstances.
