A review by aaronj21
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
3.0
There was something earnest, engaging, and fundamentally optimistic about this book. Like the antithesis of a Cormac McCarthy novel.
I liked the beginning the best and was a little puzzled since I thought the majority of the book was going to be about Alexandra struggling to make her family’s homestead succeed. That was the element of the story I was most invested in. in reality that portion of the book passes relatively quickly and the rest of the novel delves into the family’s personal lives. Not a bad narrative by any means but not quite the one I was expecting / hoping for.
