Classics Book Club Discussion – Virtual and Conference Room 1st Floor Wednesday, September 7 at 6:30 p.m. The book being discussed is: Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner. Stegner takes a long look back—at four decades of a foursome’s life. Larry Morgan and his wife Sally are young westerners who, in 1937, arrive in Madison, Wisconsin, where Larry is to take a one-year teaching post at the University of Wisconsin. Their lives are charmed and transformed when they become friends with Charity and Sid Lang, rich easterners whom the star-struck Morgans take to be the epitome of privilege, grace, and culture. A bosom friendship is formed between the two couples that is to last a lifetime, although that lifetime itself isn’t to turn out as ideally as hoped.
