What Members Thought
A big fat sprawling novel with a fascinating story line. Exactly the kind of book I used to love to wallow in. Now, however, such books make me restless. I want more and at the same time I want less. The writing, of course, is good, if not lyrical. The plot was always believeable. I’d like to have been Stegnor’s editor, taking a blue pencils to those passages of endless description, and those sections where he felt compelled to explain every motive and every thought in his characters’ heads.
I like Wallace Stegner's style a lot. His writing sounds contemporary even though this book was written in 1938. Its obvious that he understands life and how people operate.

Depressing. And not in a good way.
