Review: A Lost Lady

A Lost LadyA Lost Lady by Willa Cather
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sad story of the slow decline of a small town’s leading lady to a more squalid end. I found the writing itself was well done, mostly from the lady’s younger lawyer’s perspective. The book maintained my interest better than I would have expected given the author. The is the first Cather book I’ve finished. I hope the others are as interesting and well written as I plan to read more.
