The Song of the Lark by Doris Grumbach, Willa Cather
2.0
Good lord, did this book get boring in the last quarter or so. It might have gotten three stars if I didn't spend the last 60-70 pages skimming the text and wondering if anything at all was even going to happen before the end.
Additionally, while in the beginning I liked Thea, over time she grew more and more...annoying. I feel like Cather thought she was drawing a complex and interesting character, but really, she was just a bratty weirdo who everyone seemed to like a hell of a lot more than she deserved.
Also too, thanks for all the grossness of grown men talking in creepy, pseudo-pretentious, salacious ways about a prepubescent girl. I mean, I know this was written a long time ago, maybe before people knew the term "pedophile" but uuuuggggghh.
