Review:
She is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century's greatest American writers (OBSERVER)
Her voice, laconical and richly sensuous, sings out with a note of unequivocal love for the people she is setting down on the page (MARINA WARNER)
Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic (HELEN DUNMORE)
Book Description:
Her voice, laconical and richly sensuous, sings out with a note of unequivocal love for the people she is setting down on the page (MARINA WARNER)
Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic (HELEN DUNMORE)
In this powerful and astonishing novel, Willa Cather created one of the most winning yet thoroughly convincing heroines in American fiction.
