A review by laurenjoy
Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner

5.0

The book was a trip to the old west- seen through the eyes of a book loving genteel woman, in love with a new adventure and expressed through the words of her grandson, Lyman Ward. Lyman is the product of an upper class eastern education, shaped through the hardships of a bone disease and the misery of a divorce. His story and hers become entwined in a beautiful way- the only complaint I had was the way the book ended. It was as though the author too had met the 'angle of repose' and came to a dead stop.
