O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

4.0

I was worried I wouldn’t like this book because of the foreword by Doris Grumbach (hated that!). But thankfully, the book was much more delicately written than the foreword. Willa describes Nebraska, the farms, the hope in the land, and the complex connections between characters so beautifully. There’s a tenderness and admiration to her words and you find yourself romanticizing the land as you read.
