I've listened to a borrowed copy of this book twice. I like it better than anything else I've ready by Wallace Stegner -- except for his few other stories on the same subject: The early 1900s on the open range in Alberta. Page Stegner's voice is perfect for this book. I've decided that audio books have to be largely poetic to be enjoyable and this one is. Like Raymond Chandler, Stegner knows how to turn a phrase; unlike Chandler, he tells a story you can follow without having to make a big effort at concentration. I know I'll want to hear it again and again.
