I hardly ever learn books for a second time, primarily as a result of I’m a sluggish reader and there are such a lot of good books I have not but learn. However not too long ago I made a decision to reread Crossing to Security by Wallace Stegner.
It had been about 30 years since I first learn it. I didn’t keep in mind it nicely, however I did keep in mind liking it very a lot. After the second learn this summer season, I can report that I preferred it simply as a lot, perhaps extra.
Crossing to Security will not be a e book of excessive drama. It’s a e book about friendship, marriage, ageing, and life’s different challenges, specializing in two {couples} as they traverse their lives from their youth as struggling teachers to their later years of larger knowledge and inevitable loss.
I learn someplace that, although fiction, the e book is autobiographical. That is smart. It reads like a considerate and trustworthy memoir, which is a style I really like.
