About this listen

Margaret Stuart, the proud wife of a prosperous Iowa farmer, sets high standards for herself and others. Happy in her marriage, she tries to look the other way when her genial husband, Alec, takes to the bottle. When Elspeth, Margaret’s sister, comes to live with them, the young woman is immediately captivated by the beauty and vitality of the farm and by the affection she receives from those around her. But as summer turns into fall and the friendship between Alec and Elspeth deepens, Margaret finds her spirit tested by a series of events that seem as cruel and inevitable as the endless prairie winters.

Remembering Laughter marked Wallace Stegner’s brilliant literary debut.

Critic reviews

“Adroit and moving…has the quality of a rueful ironic legend.” ( New York Times)

Really wanted to stay with this story as the narrative held my attention but found the poor Scottish accent irritating.

Story good but accent terrible

While the writing is poetic and beautifully read by the narrator; the characters are very distant and the plot is sluggish and depressing. If you are like me and love characters and immerse yourself in the storyworld: BEWARE! All I feel is sad... and not beautifully so.
