I love Willa Cathers writing. She really knew how to write about land as someone who loves it.
I read this book as a suggestion from one of my closest friends and I'm so glad I did. This is a great novel. The storyline is so simple. The main character is an incredibly strong female.
The book is set in pioneer-settled Nebraska and centers around Alexandra's family.

I think this is the slice of life book I've been looking for for a very long time. Its pace is slow; not drudging, but leisurely. It tells the story of a family moved to the Great Plains at the turn of the century, and the few folks who weave in and out of their lives. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Beautiful writing and imagery. Refreshing to see a smart woman in charge!
I preferred this book to My Antonia. All the picture of Nebraska with a love triangle and murder thrown in. I had to remind myself when this book was written. You don't find a female protagonist like Alexandra too often in books of this time.
