Summary: This week's Book Club book of the week is a rediscovered classic - Wallace Stegner's Crossing To Safety... Crossing to Safety charts the relationship of four friends set against the backdrop of a provincial American university over the best part of the Twentieth Century. Stegner has created a complete and immersive fictional world which lingers long in the minds of all who read this wonderful novel. Woefully overlooked on this side of the Atlantic since its publication in 1987, Stegner’s novel has been lauded by the likes of Jane Smiley and Gillian Slovo and we’re delighted to be bringing it to a wider audience by including it in Book Club. The Book Club Podcast We think our Book Club selection are books not only worth reading, but worth talking about. Each week, we're bringing together a group of Waterstones Cardholders and our own booksellers to talk about our Book Club book of the week. You can download the discussion as a podcast via iTunes. You can Reserve & Collect Crossing to Safety at your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/16l2Fov),or buy it online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/1f5vbBm)
