![]() ![]() Larry Morgan is the narrator and the events are seen through his eyes. In essence, the novel recounts the lives of two couples who first met during the Depression in 1930s America and the joys and difficulties they encounter throughout their lives. It has so much to say on many different themes that I’m lost where to start in describing and considering its impact on me. ![]() I’ve read a lot of good books recently, but without a doubt this is one of the best books I’ve read this year. It is a story about love, marriage, friendship, relationships, ambition, illness and death in other words it’s about life and death. I was engrossed in the story and felt as though I was part of it – such is the power of Stegner’s writing. Unusually for me I read it straight through, on its own, abandoning the other books I’m reading to concentrate on just this one book. It’s a beautiful, and thought provoking novel and I loved it. Crossing to Safety was Wallace Stegner’s last novel published when he was 78 years old. ![]()
