Stoner

John Williams

Follow William Stoner's journey as he deviates from his expected path of agronomy and falls in love with literature, leading to a scholar's life he never anticipated. As he navigates through the disappointments of marriage and a stagnant career, Stoner turns inward and confronts solitude, emerging as an unlikely hero in the face of an unforgiving world. John William's poignant and beautifully written novel is a testament to the power of quiet perseverance in the face of adversity.
