May's book choice is O Pioneers! by Willa Cather. Somehow I feel we are pioneers in our own right in our new world order. We will meet on Wednesday May 27th at 1pm via zoom. If you would like to be included in the zoom invitation just send me an email at kdixon@hopkintontownlibrary.org.
Access the ebook or audiobook through these links:
The novel that first made Willa Cather famous—a powerfully
mythic tale of the American frontier told through the life of one
extraordinary woman....
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.
