Willa Cather's first Great Plains novel, is at once a love letter to Nebraska and the tale of a remarkable heroine who remains resilient in the face of tragedy. 'She is undoubtedly one of the greatest American writers' Observer Alexandra Bergson inherits the family farm when her father dies early. In spite of her brothers' doubts, her ambitious vision for the land comes to fruition, but the price of success appears to be a small, quiet life.
Then the equilibrium of country life is jeopardised by the return of Alexandra's brother Emil and her childhood confidant, Carl Linstrum.

Biographie de Willa Cather

Willa Cather was a Pulitzer prize-winning American writer, best known for her novels of Nebraskan frontier life. Born in 1873 near Winchester, Virginia, she moved with her family to Catherton, Nebraska in 1883, and the landscape went on to have a formative effect on her. Before becoming a full-time writer, Cather worked as a journalist, a magazine editor and a teacher. Her first novel, Alexander's Bridge, was published in 1912, followed by titles including O Pioneers! (1913); The Song of the Lark (1915); My Ántonia (1918); One of Ours (1922), for which she won the Pulitzer Prize; Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940).
She died in New York in 1947.
