Afterword by T. H. Watkins
Called a “magnificently crafted story . . . brimming with wisdom” by Howard Frank Mosher in The Washington Post Book World, Crossing to Safety has, since its publication in 1987, established itself as one of the greatest and most cherished American novels of the twentieth century. Tracing the lives, loves, and aspirations of two couples who move between Vermont and Wisconsin, it is a work of quiet majesty, deep compassion, and powerful insight into the alchemy of friendship and marriage.

Crossing to Safety
3By PlopetyGreat story with a "big drop" ending.So Real
5By shanejackmanThe power of Stegner's words nearly overwhelms me. I have read this book most autumns for the last decade. I'm not sure why, except that it is congruent with my mood as I prepare to hunker down for winter. I first found it at a thrift store somewhere in the Midwest amidst travels as a folksinger, and it carried me through many lonesome nights on the road. The story may not be true, but it certainly is real.Crossing to safety
