A review by kellian901
All the Little Live Things by Wallace Stegner
5.0
Wallace Stegner succeeded in ripping my heart out yet again.
Lulled by descriptions of birds and plants and hills and sunsets, you think you are serenely enjoying the California countryside that is the Allston’s property. But really you are digging deep into a story of human nature in its various forms, and you are about to be entranced and amused, then shocked, outraged, and finally gutted. But you will emerge from the depths all the wiser.
This is my third Stegner novel, and the best one I’ve read yet.
