This is the 3rd book by Willa Cather that I have read, and is my favorite thus far. The character of Alexandra Bergson is well developed, but still mysterious. The Nebraska prairie comes under human control, but human nature cannot always be controlled. Consider that this book was written in 1913 - so a woman heroine in a novel was not the norm. The descriptions in the book invite you to slow down and re-read some passages because they are so wonderful.
