The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather
5.0
I can't believe it's been five years since I first read this book.
When I first read it, I was poising myself to pitch into that vast unknown of college dropoutdom. This book spoke to me and gave me courage. And some serious girl power.
I just re-read it, and was a little afraid that I would have outgrown it. Nope. It's definitely a classic--it's met me even more strongly than before, with enduring truths about being an artist and a woman and living.
The only thing I can say to its detriment is that now, having seen more of life and people, Thea seems to be able to deal with Fred's revelation a little too level-headedly. I didn't buy it.
Still. A wonderful book that strikes me right at the core. I would re-read it any time I was gearing up to make a big decision.
