A Book Set in Nebraska

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I was happy to find myself hooked from the opening page. Cather’s writing captures perfectly the place and time of her story (which makes sense as she is writing about the place and time that she herself grew up in), and it gave me that supremely satisfying feeling that I get when I’m reading a classic I enjoy. The novel begins in the 1880s on the plains of Nebraska with a particular focus on an immigrant family from Bohemia.
