O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

4.0

It's always fascinating to me when I read a book written in 1913 and find it as well written and captivating as any book written today.

Alexandra was a strong woman, a lonely woman and one who continually fought the men's idea of what a woman should be. I had no idea this was the first in a series with [b:The Song of the Lark|48214|The Song of the Lark|Willa Cather|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348328431s/48214.jpg|1385675] being the second and [b:My Antonia|17150|My Antonia|Willa Cather|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348295344s/17150.jpg|575450] being the third.
