Cather Willa. One of Ours

459pp; Amherst, N.Y.: Prometheus Books, 2004
1923
This stirring novel about World War I won the Pulitzer Prize in 1922. In the lucid, unadorned prose that were her hallmark, Cather brings to life the simple Nebraska farm folk and their tranquil rural lifestyle, showing how the Great War, seemingly so far away on the Old Continent, eventually touches them all.
