Perhaps Willa Cather's most autobiographical work, The Song of
the Lark charts the story of a young woman's awakening as an artist
against the backdrop of the western landscape. Thea Kronborg, an
aspiring singer, struggles to escape from the confines her small
Colorado town to the world of possibility in the Metropolitan Opera
House. In classic Cather style, The Song of the Lark is the
beautiful, unforgettable story of American determination and its
inextricable connection to the land. "The time will come when
she'll be ranked above Hemingway." -- Leon Edel
