The novel that first made Willa Cather famous--a powerfully mythic
tale of the American frontier told through the life of one
extraordinary woman--in a handsome hardcover volume.
No other work of fiction so vividly evokes the harsh beauty and
epic sweep of the Nebraska prairies that Cather knew and loved. The
heroine of "O Pioneers , "Alexandra Bergson, is a young Swedish
immigrant at the turn of the twentieth century who inherits her
father's windblasted land and, through years of hard work, turns it
into a prosperous farm. Fiercely independent, Alexandra sacrifices
love and companionship in her passionate devotion to the land,
until tragedy strikes and brings with it the chance for a new life.
One of our most beloved classics, one of the great heroines of
American literature.
