East of Eden
John Steinbeck
(UK: Penguin, @PenguinUKBooks, 2017; USA: Penguin 20th Century Classics, @penguinrandom, 1992)

California’s fertile Salinas Valley is home to two families whose destinies are fruitfully, and fatally, intertwined. Over the generations, between the beginning of the 20th century and the end of World War I, the Trasks and the Hamiltons will helplessly replay the fall of Adam and Eve and the murderous rivalry of Cain and Abel.
