Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men is centred around two itinerant workers George and Lennie in California in the 1930s as they start work on a ranch in a place called Soledad (a Spanish word meaning ‘solitude’). The whole story takes place over a period of four days starting on Thursday evening and ending on Sunday. While at the ranch George and Lennie meet other characters who emphasise the loneliness and difficulty of life for the people living and working in these places.
