Great plains trilogy willa cather6/3/2023 ![]() It is in the solitude of a tiny rock chamber high in the side of an Arizona cliff-"a cleft in the heart of the world"-that Thea comes face to face with her own dreams and desires, stripped clean by the haunting purity of the ruined cliff dwellings and inspired by the whisperings of their ancient dust. But as her path to the world stage leads her ever farther from the humble town she can't forget and from the man she can't afford to love, Thea learns that her exceptional musical talent and fierce ambition are not enough. Thea Kronborg, a minister's daughter in a provincial Colorado town, seems destined from childhood for a place in the wider world. In this powerful portrait of the self-making of an artist, Willa Cather created one of her most extraordinary heroines. ![]() ![]() "The time will come when she will be ranked above Hemingway." -Leon Edel ![]()
