The Song of the Lark
A searing coming-of-age story of a young singer, set against the backdrop of the 1890s American West.

Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic
The Song of the Lark illuminates all her work
In her writing, an almost bardic ability to hold us with stories coexists with a blazing commitment to a moral view of human distinction and human turpitude that recalls Wharton without the cynicism and Conrad without the weightiness . . . Her voice, laconical and richly sensuous, sings out with a note of unequivocal love for the people she is setting down on the page
The time will come when she will be ranked above Hemingway
She is undoubtedly one of the greatest American writers
