A classic of the first order... thoroughly researched, beautifully written and full of wisdom. After more than forty years, Stegner returns to the small town in Saskatchewan where he spent a part of his formative years. A lot has changed but one thing is the same - Wolf Willow. He also visits what used to be the family homestead and acreage located down near the U.S. border and brings out his memories of his father's farming efforts there. Finally, he reflects at some length on the overall "settler" experience on the prairies and its impact on the evolution of rural communities.

I found the "Genesis" part of the book (about a late in the season cattle drive) as intense and absorbing as a storm at sea described by Joseph Conrad. Will have to add this one to my list of favorite reads.
