Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic
She is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century's greatest American writers
In fact it's one of the warmest, most quietly rousing books that I know; a clear-eyed salute to the resilience of the human spirit and the innate hardiness of the immigrants who came across the ocean to start afresh in the golden west
Her voice, laconical and richly sensuous, sings out with a note of unequivocal love for the people she is setting down on the page
Willa Cather was a wordsmith of enormous talent
