What Members Thought
I really enjoyed this book by Stegner. The book is about Larry and Sally, two young adults who are married and move to a town where Larry has a job teaching at the local university. There, they meet Charity and Sid, two young adults who are married and move to a town where Sid had a job teaching at the local university. The four hit it off and become BFFs. The primary difference that exists between them as couples is that Larry and Sally have little money and Sid and Charity have a bunch of it.

The writing is so beautiful and relatable. You see the hope of youth and how life forks and turns and it's all how you approach them whether or not they run you down or make you stronger.
The ending gutted me. I wanted these people to rise up, but in the end they remained consistently human. And there in lay the beauty.
The narrator was perfection. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as well had anyone else done it. ...more
