My Interest
I loved both My Antonia and The Professor's House so it was a given that I'd read more by Willa Cather. The Professor's House also has the distinction of being the most quoted book in my Commonplace Book.

Willa Cather uses such artistry in painting a picture in writing. Everything is so vivid, yet so comfortable. I love her strong female heroine of this novel, Alexandra...stronger than all of the male characters around her. The novel is both tragic and hopeful.
