### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An old classic book, (The Pearl), that teaches a good life lesson by John Steinbeck
*by J***E on February 1, 2023*

Lately I have been rereading some of the old classics I had read in high school and college. One of these books I purchased on Amazon for a bargain price was this 90-page paperback edition, (The Pearl by John Steinbeck), which I found to be an amusing and interesting read even though I had read it more than 50 years ago. The short story, like many of the novels by John Steinbeck, deals with people who lead hard working lives. This particular novel takes place in Mexico and in some ways reflects the way many people thought about certain things in the 1940s. This story revolves around a family, who follows the same kind of work their ancestors did, which is diving for pearls in the Gulf. Unlike the early pearl searchers, Kino and Juana barely make enough to support their family; however, one day Kino pulls from the ocean a large pearl. He thinks this will finally make his family wealthy enough to get his family out of the meager living existence they now live in. As always, there are twists and turns and issues that make this an interesting read. I never give away too much information when reviewing any novel, but there is a lesson here we can all learn from in this family tale. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art and Warrior Haiku and Senryu).
