This is the fourth book I've read from Willa Cather. It's also the weakest. This was one of her last novels. Still, it had some good points about it. It deals with the jealousy between the wife Sapphira and the beautiful African American girl Nancy. A nephew Martin arrives that lusts after the slave. Sapphira's daughter Rachel plans a getaway for Nancy. I was more involved when Martin came into the mix. The four books I've read from Willa Cather shows that she had a lot of range. It doesn't seem like it's the same author from Death comes from the Archbishop. That's good. A lot of authors repeat themselves. 3/5
