Crossing to Safety
by Wallace Stegner
In her introduction to the book, Terry Tempest Williams said that Stegner “Created ‘an unorthodox drama’ out of decency” and I don’t think there could be a better summation of what I loved about this book. Nothing about this Crossing to Safety is sweeping or dramatic. There are no massive plot twists or surprises lurking in the next pages, and yet, I was held glued to the story as I waited to see what each chapter held for these characters. It is gripping in its simplicity and compelling in its ordinariness. 5 stars and I would give more if that were a thing.
