Willa Cather is one of my all time favorite authors. Her genius is in her character sketches, in particular early American settlers, & the beautiful descriptions of the American plains & deserts of the Southwest. These descriptions of nature & insight into the human psyche awakens something elemental inside of me.
I‘m still making my way through this book, but hope to catch up with the group soon!
