I misspoke. The Korrektiv Summer Reading Klub in fact did read another book after Stages. We (or at least I) read Exiles, lagging behind the excellent now-lost treatment of it by professional writer-readers Lickona, O’Brien, et al. Here’s a roundup of the old posts: Flip Flops … Chapter 1 … Exiles and Garff … Squeezing Juice … Wreck of the Deutschland.
Now it seems our friend Ms. Speed has gotten round to scrutinizing Exiles, too, and has posted her own sagacious and succinct (children sent outside so she can hammer it out) review. Well done, Dorian!
It's getting awfully close.

Are there two Ron Hansen's?
I won't buy the book till I establish which Ron Hansen wrote it.
Anon.,
Yeah, I think you're right – just like there are two Winston Churchills (American novelist and PM/Historian) and two Robert Herricks (English poet and American novelist) and two Charles Dickenses – one the English author and one the Danish author (Dikkens – spelled with two K's).
OK that last one was pure MP.
But the others are true enough.

No longer lost!
