Not what I was expecting! Cather writes a descriptive setting that makes even city dwellers want to try their hand at farming. I felt Alexandra’s connection to the land as deeply as she did.
Character development was compelling. In audio form, it was sometimes difficult to recall how old the characters were, and how the reader should feel towards their actions because of it. My heart broke so many times as the story continued and at other points I was completely frustrated because someone just wasn’t getting what seemed so obvious.
Overall a brilliant read and she continues to prove why she is a force to be reckoned with as an early female author.
