One of ours

by Willa Cather

**** [4/5]

I am not sure why I didn't read this book before. I went through a Willa Cather phase several years ago and somehow missed it. I now believe it is one of my favorites of Cather's books, a close second to "Death Comes to the Archbishop."

Tells the story of a farmboy named Claude who ends up entering the first world war. As usual, Cather explores the characters in great detail. I suppose what I didn't like was way the plot wrapped without much closure. Great book, well worth the time.
