The Song of the Lark - Paperback

by Willa Cather (Author)

This is Cather's coming-of-age classic---the story of a young artist who leaves the mediocrity of her home town to seek fame and success in the big city. A bittersweet reflection on severing oneself from one's past relationships and surroundings, The Song of the Lark explores the loss that ultimately accompanies an artist's highest achievements.
