The Moon is Down

I happened to pick up my copy of Steinbeck's The Moon is Down. It's a book I couldn't put down.

What an incredible crucible for the characters.

Not only are they held firmly under the shroud of war and the vision of a deranged leader, but they are also each captive of their nature.

It is as if they are mummies crammed tightly in a burial chamber come to life.
