“Books like Little House On the Prairie and those made for tv movies about pioneer stories your teacher would play in elementary school are really core memories for me and this book really brought that all back.
Overall this is a really beautiful story about childhood transitioning into adulthood, how life and experiences always happen even if you don't notice it, and how enduring true friendship is.”Reviewed in:classics by the gals

About Willa Cather
Willa Sibert Cather was an American writer who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I. Cather grew up in Virginia and Nebraska, and graduated from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. She lived and worked in Pittsburgh for ten years, supporting herself as a magazine editor and high school English teacher. At the age of 33 she moved to New York City, though she also traveled widely and spent considerable time at her summer residence in Grand Manan, New Brunswick.
