O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

5.0

Willa Cather's prose is beautifuly to read. I thoroughly enjoyed her portrayal of life in Nebraska and the difficulties faced as the farmers tried to break the land. She did a marvelous job of painting word pictures of both the land and the people, without getting over-wordy. She let the reader fill in a lot of the blanks about the characters and didn't rely on stock-types.
