 This 1913 [a:Willa Cather|881203|Willa Cather|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1443393955p2/881203.jpg] novel surprised me mostly because of how strong the central character, a woman, is. There are also passages of great poetic beauty in it. I half expected the setting to remain static, like a Little House on the Prairie series novel. That would have made for comfortable reading. But that it shows a time of great change made the book far more interesting and memorable.

I think this is the slice of life book I've been looking for for a very long time. Its pace is slow; not drudging, but leisurely. It tells the story of a family moved to the Great Plains at the turn of the century, and the few folks who weave in and out of their lives. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Es handelte mir ein bisschen zu viel von schönen Kreuzstichmustern und der fruchtbaren Erde und dem Herrn Kommerzienrat (bzw. in dem Fall schwedischen Emigrantenfarmer), dessen wie du weißt einzige blondbezopfte Tochter du bist. Aber wenn man betrunken ist und dringend mehr über das harte und doch romantische Dasein der amerikanischen Pioniere erfahren möchte, vielleicht genau das richtige Buch.
