Description
”She is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century”s greatest American writers” OBSERVER
”Her finest novel . . . A masterpiece” IRISH TIMES
”The vivacious Marian Forrester stands as a romantic paean to the pioneer”s reckless abandon, counterpointed by the narrator”s prim decency” THE TIMES
Marian Forrester brings delight to her husband, an elderly railroad pioneer; to the small town of Sweet Water where they live; and to Niel Herbert, the young narrator of her story who falls in love with her as a boy and later becomes her confidant. He witnesses this vibrant woman in all her contradictory facets: by turns faithless and steadfast, dazzling and pathetic, invincibly charming yet dangerously vulnerable to the men she charms. All are bewitched by her charisma and grace – and all are ultimately betrayed.
Willa Cather”s most perfect novel is not only a portrait of a troubling beauty, but also a haunting evocation of a noble age slipping irrevocably into the past.
