Thanks Bookworm_Girl. Yes, I put down the "clunkier" parts of the plot, particularly Alexandra's approach with Frank towards the end, to its being an early book. I do agree that the strongest parts are those that people have mentioned, such as the portrait of Mrs Lee, and the descriptions of landscape. I have downloaded several of her books and will try them out. One title I had heard of elsewhere was Death Comes for the Archbishop, so maybe I should try that one first.

The version I read was from Girlebooks, and was missing the poem as well as the dedication. Now I'm starting to wonder if it is missing other things as well, and will have a look at a couple of other versions.

Thanks again for your interesting list, Bookworm_Girl. Apart from the other Cather novels, I have downloaded several other nominations too. I'm not going to run out of reading matter any time soon!
