O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

5.0

This is a great title. If you want to see some of what settling down in untamed Nebraska might have been like, you have a chance here. The protagonist, Alexandra, turns out to be the best choice of her dying father to preserve the farm. And to do so she has to fight nature and people’s expectations. I love her as a strong female character, and in more than one way she is the embodiment of the typical American pioneer. 5 out of 5 stars
