| | 1. |  | Ethan Frome (Twentieth-Century Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Customer Review:
I got to know: what idiot decided this terrible thing should become a classic? It's depressing, overdramatic, and just plain silly. I realize that many people were deeply moved by this novel, but why? It seems to defy the very purpose of writing a novel. Call me a romantic, but I believe that the... more info

from Mariner Books

Customer Review:
What a beautifully intricate and poignant story! It is a complex tale of love and land and the relationship of the individual to their environment. Tragic but full of hope and faith, Willa Cather successfully paints a portrait of the American West and the pioneering spirit of its first settlers.

ISBN 0-14-118104-4 This annotated Penguin edition of Willa Cather's Kunstlerroman is an invaluable resource for students & teachers providing information at first hand. The notes appear at the end of the book, so they do not take away from the enjoyment of reading Cather's prose.

from W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.
Price: $17.05
Customer Review:
This is just a sweet old fashioned love story... a lesbian love story that is. I happened upon a hardcover copy in a used bookstore. The cover looked idyllic, pastoral... two ladies dressed in riding habits, surveying the english countryside. It is a story of the enormous risks they took to be... more info

from W W Norton & Co Inc
Customer Review:
I enjoy the memoir format. I keep a diary periodically myself athough attempts to re-read it expose my earlier, dumb days and I don't get far.
Doris Grumbach has created a similar work, yet as a bona fide "writer" has decided to impose it upon us.
She gripes about everything and where I... more info
