A Lost Lady by Willa Cather
5.0
Cather's writing is sublime. Years ago, I read [b:The Professor's House|48203|The Professor's House|Willa Cather|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328729214l/48203._SY75_.jpg|342924], and loved it. Now, am not sure which one I like better.
Marian Forrester is a women that wants to live, and live at all cost. She has the ability to catch the attention of every man and young boy she meets in Sweet Water Nebraska. Neil Herbert is one of those young boys, who becomes devoted to her, and he is the one that becomes the narrator.
In a sense this is a story of a "lost woman", but it is also the story of the loss of a generation of pioneers who sought a new life in the West.
