This was my first Willa Cather book. I can see why hers are often selectioned for high school student required reading. Her writing is not complicated and easy to understand. Her descriptions of the land are exquisite. I read the Five Stories because of the additional unfinished story about Avignon, France. Much to my chagrin, the story was actually about how Willa loved Avignon, wanted to write a story about it but since it was unfinished at the time of her death, she requested it be destroyed....more
Wonderfully written in a descriptive style that fits the area she writes about. Neighbour Rosicky is my favorite of these short stories.
My favorite was The Enchanted Bluff
The stories are simple in a very pleasant and comfortable way. The writing is direct and comfortable, and the characters feel very familiar - the straightforwardness is a nice balance to the witty cleverness of many modern novels.
