A rising star makes significant sacrifices to become an international diva. But is her transformation worth the cost?
If you like strong artistic female protagonists, you'll love The Song of the Lark.

This coming-of-age story explores the growth of a young woman born in Colorado where east meets west. She faces difficult life choices as a singer, all while struggling against the gender limitations of her era.

To develop her singing career, Thea Kronborg moves to Chicago only to meet new personal challenges. She makes great sacrifices as she goes on to Europe to fulfill her artistic dreams.

Along with the entire 1915 edition, this special edition of The Song of the Lark provides both a study of Willa Cather's revision process and insight into her life. It includes an examination of what Cather says about writing compared with what she does as a writer. It also includes a side-by-side comparison of her revisions to the 1937 edition.

Cather's two editions of The Song of the Lark were published before and after a significant change in her life. She reflected on it in Not Under Forty, when she wrote: "the world broke in two in 1922 or there abouts."

Considered one of the best novelists of the 20th century, Pulitzer Prize winner, Willa Cather, is known for calming life's chaos. Let Cather's writing bring calm to your life. Buy The Song of the Lark now.
