The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather

3.0

For the most part I enjoyed this gentle, turn of the century coming-of-age set in the desert town of Moonstone. It was kind of plodding and eventless and nice in a sleepy way- where I was kind of mildly rooting for Thea, the songbird, to make it out of her small town and be a great artist. However when she SPOILER becomes a great opera singer it all got very, very dull with lots of repetitive passages about what her voice contained and how she sang different opera parts in different ways and how expressive her back was?! It got kind of weird in point of fact. I did however enjoy the bit where she just goes and lies down in a prehistoric Arizona cliff village for a season; that sounded nice.
