Reviews

An affectionate, meticulous study, at once intimate and impersonal
Observer
A sympathetic and illuminating study
Nicci Gerrard, New Statesman
'The biographer's enthusiasm for her subject illuminates every page
Hilary Mantel
Willa Cather could not have hoped for a more passionately sensible and insightful interpreter . . . Hermione Lee's enthusiasm for this misunderstood writer is contagious and her book is that rare thing, a scholarly study that reads well

OBSERVER
The biographer's enthusiasm for her subject illuminates every page. Despite her special place in American letters Willa Cather has never been much read or studied in England, and Hermione Lee . . . must be congratulated for bringing us to her measured, humane, unflinching voice
