This month the Page Turners Book Club continues its reading of older literary fiction with Crossing to Safety, the work of Wallace Stegner, whose novel The Angle of Repose won the Pulitzer Prize. In the words of the publisher, Crossing to Safety has been called a “magnificently crafted story brimming with wisdom” by Howard Frank Mosher in the Washington Post Book World.
Stegner’s Crossing to Safety has, since its publication in 1987, “established itself as one of the greatest and most cherished American novels of the twentieth century. Tracing the lives, loves, and aspirations of two couples who move between Vermont and Wisconsin, it is a work of quiet majesty, deep compassion, and powerful insight into the alchemy of friendship and marriage.”
Page Turners Book Club consists of three groups all reading the same books each month, with all groups now meeting at the Clubhouse. The Monday afternoon group that meets the fourth Monday of the month, previously met in individual homes. For information on that group please contact me at fozimec@cox.net. The other two groups meet the fourth Thursday afternoon of the month, and for information on those groups please contact Steve and Ann Mor- ris at samwrsi@cox.net.
New members are always welcome so if you are interested in joining a book club we would love to hear from you.
