O Pioneers! by Cather, Willa, Illustrated by Mark Weakley
Book Club (BCE/BOMC)
New York: Readers Digest, 1990. NY: Reader's Digest Association, 1990. Hard Cover. Very Good. 206 pages. In her second novel, O Pioneers!, Cather discovered the subject matter- the frontier life she knew as a young girl- and the spare but evocative style that would tap her full potential as a writer. Published in 1913, the novel tells of Alexandra Bergeson, a Swedish immigrant who, in her early 20s, loses both her mother and father and is thrust into the role of surrogate parent to her three brothers. Alexandras success with the family farm enables her to send her brother Emil to college, but the family is challenged once more by his tragic love affair with a married woman. And as vital as any of the books characters are the Nebraska plains themselves as depicted by Cather- raw, unforgiving, and breathtakingly beautiful. ISBN: 0895773546 . ISBN: 0895773546. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
