I've only read The Four Winds which I thought was excellent, about The Dust Bowl Farmers during the Great Depression. Successive years of drought, subsequent crop failures and ensuing bank foreclosures forcing those people to leave their lands and move west to California to harvest grapes for subsistence wages. I knew very little about this and it prompted me to read The Grapes of Wrath, the definitive book on that subject. So yes I would recommend it, a very good read indeed.
I have The Women on my to read pile, there have been lots of thumbs up for it on GN.
