 | O Pioneers! by Marilee Lindemann, Willa Cather
In this novel, first published in 1913, Cather tells the story of Alexandra Bergson, the daughter of a Swedish pioneering family, who successfully takes over the management of the family farm upon her father's death. Cather tells the story of the family's plight: Alexandra's forbidden love for a neighbor, Carl Lindstrom, as well as her difficult relationships with her brothers, Oscar and Lou. As she grows in wealth, and subsidizes the passage of other Swedes to America, her troubles increase. Her youngest brother Emil's love for Marie Tovesky, the woman married to their possessive neighbor Frank Shabata, winds through the narrative and ultimately veers off into tragedy. Alexandra's strength is put to the test by her brother's death, but she ultimately decides to help Frank, and is rewarded with Carl's love. AUTHOR: Marilee Lindemann, Willa Cather
