Publisher's Summary
This is One of Ours, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Willa Cather, America’s greatest writer of the prairie heartland. It is set in rural Nebraska in the early 20th century prior to the first World War that enveloped Europe and eventually the United States.
The story focuses on the young Claude Wheeler, a well-to-do farmer’s son who secretly longs for something to take him away from the hum-drum agrarian life he has inherited. As he prepares to take over his family’s farm business, war intrudes and Claude is thrust into the harsh realities of the death and destruction of clashing armies.
Brilliantly and evocatively written, with a firm grasp of the tenor of those perilous times, Cather breathes life into her characters and the Midwest that was her home.
