O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
4.0
I read this as part of my project to read one book by a female author from each decade of the 20th century. This was the second installment, from the 1910s.
After the overly-sentimental Gilded Age drama of Edith Wharton’s “House of Mirth,” this book was quite literally a breath of fresh prairie air. Willa Cather’s straightforward writing style mirrored the straightforward Scandinavian mentality of Alexandra. A tragedy with a happy ending, this book is full of wonderful descriptions of the prairie and frontier life. 4.5 stars.
