Angle of Repose (Contemporary American Fiction)
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


Interesting read that juxtaposes a grandson in his latter years with his grandmother and grandfather as he untangles their lives as they came West in the 1880s and 1890s. His grandmother's story is woven from piles of letters to her Eastern friends. His grandfather was a mining engineer and inventor a bit ahead of his time.
