Angle of Repose (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

Stegnerâ€™s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of personal, historical, and geographic discovery
Â
Confined to a wheelchair, retired historian Lyman Ward sets out to write his grandparents' remarkable story, chronicling their days spent carving civilization into the surface of America's western frontier. But his research reveals even more about his own life than he's willing to admit. What emerges is an enthralling portrait of four generations in the life of an American family.

"Brilliant . . . Two stories, past and present, merge to produce what important fiction must: a sense of the enchantment of life." â€”Los Angeles Times
Â
