Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner

4.0

I think this is a book that I will keep thinking about, it's not dramatic but a very illuminating story about marriage and the curiosity of how a friendship develops and the difference between men and women's friendships . It tells the story of Larry,Sally , charity and Sid who meet in 1938 Wisconsin university as English teachers , they form a close quartet but the relationships are very uneven. The end is sad as Larry is looking back 40(?) years on and it touches on each spouses needs of each other. As I say I think I'll think about this book often.
