One of Ours

Set in the early 1900’s, Cather’s novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize, tells the life story of Claude Wheeler, a restless Nebraskan who chafes at the life his successful farmer father and pious mother want for him. A romantic who is bored with the drudgery of farm life, and in an unhappy marriage, Claude ultimately finds meaning on the battlefields of World War I France. ZOOM
