I enjoyed this book and it was a quick read.
Overall though there wasn't anything that I absolutely loved or that I disliked. And whenever I read stories set in the 1800s it's always a bit hard to wrap my head around what it was actually like during that time period. I always think of it as a much simpler time especially since the last part of the book took part in the early 1900s. And it's always interesting to read a book set in that time period that was actually written then and not written by doing research on the period.

Like Christina, my last reading (in maybe seventh grade?) didn't have much of an impact. This time I couldn't put it down.

Beautiful writing and characters. Her characters were real, but there was always a hint of romanticism or fantasy. Willa Cather's writing is pretty and detailed. As overused at this phrase is, you definitely become part of the story. You also can find yourself in each character, even if it's just a tiny piece. I loved this book.
