O Pioneers!
by Willa Cather
My first introduction to Willa Cather was learning that I would be teaching My Antonia as part of the curriculum in my sophomore English class. I had a lingering memory of her strong vocabulary and distinctive characters, so I was quite amenable when someone in my book club suggested we read some Willa Cather together. For a first, we opted to read two titles in one month, both O Pioneers! and My Antonia.
O Pioneers! was a beautiful and yet tragic read, with much to discuss. I would say it was my favorite of the two (which, however much people might try to group them, are not connected in a series beyond, "both taking place on the Great Plains"). Themes of persistence, loyalty, and love are present.
