The Spectator Bird
by Wallace Stegner
Stegner's writing is intelligent and intriguing. Both Spectator Bird and Angle of Repose take place in the past and the present, and they are interwoven nicely. In this book, he tackles aging (as in AoR) and family roles-- Joe Allston's mother and son have passed away, neither with a sense of closure or resolution. He revisits journals written during his and his wife's trip to Denmark to resolve those relationships. Reading the journals aloud to his wife, their relationship is examined. I love his writing style and I am going to look for more of his books.
