To a God Unknown is a novel by John Steinbeck, first published in 1933. [1] The book was Steinbeck's second novel (after Cup of Gold).Steinbeck found To a God Unknown extremely difficult to write; taking him roughly five years to complete, the novel proved more time-consuming than either East of Eden or The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck's longest novels.
East of Eden brings to life the intricate details of two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltons, and their interwoven stories. The Hamilton family in the novel is said to be based on the real-life family of Samuel Hamilton, Steinbeck's maternal grandfather. [3] A young John Steinbeck also appears briefly in the novel as a minor character. [4]
