Smooth job of human relations effected and resolved by natural
dangers and outside influences, done with a good woman's slant for
discriminating rentals and sales. John, at odds with the pattern of
ordered living laid down by his wife, Serena, is further incensed
when their plans for a Rocky Mountain vacation are upset by too
many additions (planned by Serena) to the party. A friend of his
boyhood is to act as guide, and John adds yet another, Rose, whose
husband is timbering in the section they are to visit. Then comes
forest fire - and the refugee doctor whom Serena had idealized, is
shown up in his true colors, and she finds out where, her happiness
really lies and where her selfishness was leading. Not as big a
novel as. The Brewers' Big Horses, but a good psychological novel
with plenty of action. (Kirkus Reviews)
John Davis has a "dull aching sense of missing out, of not getting
anywhere." There must be millions like him, he thinks. His
relations with his wife, Serena, are shallow and unsatisfying. In
the late 1930s, he tries to rekindle their marriage by bringing her
to a special place from his past-the Montana mountains. He is
chagrined when she asks other people to join them on the camping
trip. Plans are further disrupted by a catastrophe-a forest fire
that rages uncontrolled for three days. Forced to reach outward to
others in this crisis, the members of the party ultimately have to
face themselves as well. Unless the Wind Turns is fast-moving and
psychologically nuanced. Purchase the audio edition.
