The Spectator Bird by Wallace Stegner
5.0

Wallace Stegner is such a treasure. How have I never been read any of his books before? This year, I've read two and both have dog-earred pages where I have been stunned either the beauty of his writing or the resonating truth in his words. In this book, a retired man who feels he has spent his life on the sidelines, revisits a trip he and his wife took 20 years earlier to his mother's place of Denmark where they met and befriended a mysterious and compelling Countess.
