I've had it on my shelf for years and love the title. I did think of a bird though but something welcoming and relaxing. I though it could have coming of age themes in it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your excellent review. Like your other two commenters, Cather is going on my list for 2022, at least one novel. <br /><br />Ok, please work .... posting .....Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694880585491590788.post-35828697654331563882021-12-15T23:37:32.278-05:002021-12-15T23:37:32.278-05:00I'm thinking about A Lost Lady pretty soon mys...I'm thinking about A Lost Lady pretty soon myself, while I'm in the zone.

I have since read My Antonia in my dotage and thought it was brilliant! In some ways, reading really is like developing a muscle. <br /><br />I have a New York Public Library collectors edition that I thrifted which contains The Bohemian Girl,O'Pioneers and A Lost Lady so that is where I will probably start.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694880585491590788.post-32500450117109955082021-12-15T17:41:18.331-05:002021-12-15T17:41:18.331-05:00Some of them, including this one, are at available...Some of them, including this one, are at available at Gutenberg.
