I was somewhat ambivalent about The Song of Lark, but her biggies like My Antonia and O Pioneers should not be missed. My personal favorite is The Professor's House.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677670.post-52469013720231024842007-04-15T10:58:00.000-07:002007-04-15T10:58:00.000-07:00My Antonia is a wonderful book - such a beautiful ...My Antonia is a wonderful book - such a beautiful story. I haven't read The Song of the Lark, but I've heard others say it wasn't Cather's best.
