First Church Book Group - 7:30pm, Library
"Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner
A beautifully written story of two young couples who meet in 1937 in
Madison, Wisconsin, when the husbands are professors in the English
Department at the university. The story traces the stresses and
strains of their marriages and their friendship over the following
decades, always circling back to Battell Pond, site of Charity Lang’s
rustic family compound in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Wallace
Stegner tells this story from the perspective of Larry Morgan, a
successful writer, looking back over the years and their lives from
the vantage point of retirement in 1971. Stegner’s sensitive and
luminous prose is a delight, and the story has a power that keeps the
reader turning pages, hungry for more.
The Book Group is always open to new members. Please contact Anne
Stuart at: astu...@uubelmont.org to confirm attendance if you are
interested in participating.
Looking ahead: the Book Group will be discussing "The Member of the
Wedding" by Carson McCullers on May 22.
