Angle of Repose by Wallace Earle Stegner


Book Description
In Wallace Stegner's American classic, first published in 1971, wheelchair-bound historian Lyman Ward decides to write about the frontier lives of his grandparents at a time when he has lost con-nection with his living family. Of his relationship with his son, he says, "That is no gap between the generations, that is a gulf." It is an enterprise that will cast as much light on the lives of the members of
succeeding generations as on the grandparents'.
