In this moving sequel to Big Rock Candy Mountain, Bruce Mason returns to Salt Lake City, not for his aunt's funeral but to encounter after 45 years the place he fled in bitterness. A successful statesman and diplomat, Mason had buried his awkward and lonely childhood and sealed himself off from the thrills and torments of adolescence to become a figure who commanded international respect.

But the realities of the present recede in the face of the ghosts of his past. As he makes the perfunctory arrangements for the funeral, we enter with him on an intensely personal and painful inner pilgrimage, meeting the father who darkened his childhood, the mother whose support was both redeeming and embarrassing, the friend who drew him into the respectable world of which he so craved to be a part, and the woman he nearly married.

In this profoundly moving book, Stegner has drawn an intimate portrait of a man understanding how his life has been shaped by experiences seemingly remote and inconsequential.

Stegner's masterful storytelling takes the reader with confidence through memories that echo our own. Written for mature audiences: under 50s will hear only thin nostalgia for an unfamiliar city, over 50s will hear the boom of the thunder, and the individual rain drops on their window panes. An underappreciated American giant.

Fitting coda to Big Rock Candy Mtn

I felt this sequel lack the charm and detail of Big Rock Candy Mountain. It's timeline was muddled and often unclear. I'd have rather had more of Bruce's adult life than his childhood. He seemed to have nothing but regrets.

Disappointing
