A Lost Lady by Willa Cather

Read for book club. What prose! Some of it is shocking. Afterward, I read that F. Scott Fitzgerald loved it so much, he realized too late that he had modeled Daisy in the Great Gatsby after Marian, and he wrote Willa Cather an apology letter for any unintentional plagiarism. I was gratified to read this, because Marian had reminded me of Daisy quite a lot! It is a short book-- it's not considered one of her best, but it's considered good, so read it if you're curious.
