It also portrays the hardships involved in reaching your full potential. I'm not sure how much of it I agree with, but there was excellent symbolism that illustrated a point without sounding forced or contrived. Cather's descriptions make Thea's world and experiences seem real. This book leaves vivid impressions. It didn't have a happy, gentle plot, but was uplifting in that it describes something worth living for. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/963305?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
