Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner

2.0

I sped happily through this book for the first half or so--I am a sucker for novels that take place within the academic workplace. And Stegner had a nice chatty tone to his coverage of the two couples. As time went on, however, the one-dimensional portrayal of Charity, the nagging, shrewish woman at the center of the book--grew increasingly grating (not to mention sexist). By the end I was relieved to be done with the two couples and to close the book.
