"A severely disabled professor, whose marriage has failed, researches and writes the saga of his pioneer grandparents, a couple whose marriage lasted in spite of tremendous adversity and tragedy...

Stegner won the Pulitzer for Angle of Repose...It's a big, long, lush, slowly progressing story that weaves the distant past with the near past with the present beautifully and seamlessly.

Superb. Read this one and savor it. Don't rush yourself." amazon review
