It was a pure pleasure to read. Willa Cather's writing is so beautiful, especially when she describes her surroundings.
It's a tale about immigration, multi-faceted, set in a harsh environment, but it's also a friendship story, a story about neighbors helping each other out. You'll witness the difficulties faced by the immigrants in the late 1800s, but also how resilient they were.
