Wallace Stegner’s Spectator Bird, beautifully written. Amazing language. A touching story about aging and loss
Kim, I just finished River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. His long novels never fail to lose your attention however difficult the novel’s situation. This book is about Corby Ledbetter who in a state of some level of inebriation inadvertently backs over his young son, killing him. For the other five hundred pages of the book, Lamb explores Corby’s stay in prison. Though not an uplifting book, Lamb holds your attention and keeps it. Worth reading but difficult to recommend to anyone.
Totally agree. We had our book club discussion last night and to a person they agreed as well. We are all so glad this book found us.
