About the Book
Cather's classic story of Alexandra Bergson, a courageous Swedish woman who must assume responsibility for the farm and family after her father's death in 19th-century Nebraska. A Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie starring Jessica Lange and David Strathem, to air on CBS on February 3, 1992.Book Synopsis
O Pioneers!, Willa Cather's first great novel, is the classic American story of pioneer life as embodied by one remarkable woman and her singular devotion to the land. Alexandra Bergson arrives on the wind-blasted prairie of Nebraska as a young girl and grows up to turn it into a prosperous farm. In this unforgettable story, Cather conveys both the physical realities of the landscape, as well as the mythic sweep of the transformation of the frontier, more faithfully and perhaps more fully than any other work of fiction.Review Quotes
"A direct, human tale of love and struggle and attainment -- American in the best sense of the word." -- New York Times The New York Times --
