Product Description
Review
'She is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century's greatest American writers' OBSERVER *'Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic' HELEN DUNMORE *'This classic has the striking economy of Hemingway, and is as poignant an elegy for the pioneer West as I have read. The vivacious Marian Forrester stands as a romantic paean to the pioneer's reckless abandon, counterpointed by the narrator's prim decency' The Times *'A poised and perfectly shaped novel' Daily Mail *'Her finest novel ... The portrait of the nervy, alive Marian Forrester as a woman determined to survive remains unforgettable ... This wonderful performance displays Cather's narrative technique at its sharpest, as well as her understanding of the eloquence of the slightest gesture, the simplest statement ... A masterpiece' Irish Times
