About this ebook

This bittersweet tale begins when the successful Professor Godfrey St. Peter and his wife move into a comfortable new house. On the eve of the move, Godfrey analyzes his life, family, and friends: his two daughters’ marriages have removed them from the home, and the loss of his most outstanding student (and once son-in-law to be) leaves him feeling without purpose. His desire to stay in his old study and cling to what used to be sparks deep introspection in a story that explores a mid-life crisis and family life in a 1920s Midwestern college town.

    3/5
    Pretty good novel. Tom Outland's story, within the frame of the novel, is the most interesting.
    He explored a mesa in New Mexico with old ruins. It's the most poetic part. Professor is kind of jaded at the end of his career, and wished his friend and student Tom had survived WW I.

    Odd but moving story. The mid-section about the Anasanzi ruins more affecting than the tale around it.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    I have an interest in both New Mexico and France, and this book meanders through both. The relationships were fascinating even though not much happens throughout the book.
